Management & Technology Summer Institute (M&TSI) is a highly intensive summer program offered by the University of Pennsylvania through its Wharton School and School of Engineering, designed for high-achieving high school students interested in business, engineering, and innovation.

Program Structure, Fields, and Selection
- Approximately 3-week full-time residential program ( in July)
- Courses taught by Wharton and Penn Engineering faculty integrating business, engineering, and entrepreneurship
- Students develop a technical prototype and a full business plan (go-to-market strategy)
- Includes industry visits and guest lectures from companies in technology and finance sectors
- Highly selective admissions requiring transcripts, essays, recommendations, and supplemental materials (video or written response), with emphasis on academics, leadership, and innovation potential

Academic Value
A top-tier interdisciplinary summer program combining business and engineering, offering a college-level experience and Penn academic credit, with strong focus on entrepreneurship and applied innovation.

Impact on College Applications
Valuable for applications in business, engineering, computer science, and entrepreneurship, especially for applicants targeting Wharton. However, it remains a high-quality summer program rather than a top-tier research program like RSI or SSP.
