Welcome to the third week of our new blog series, Why Weitzman Wednesdays! Over the next couple of weeks, we will be featuring current students and alums across all departments. We have asked them to share why they chose Weitzman in hopes that it will help make your decision a little easier and show why Weitzman is the right choice for you!
"As an urban enthusiast who has a strong passion for spatial data analytics, Penn has always been my first option. I believed the spatial analysis skills and techniques that MUSA trains its students are exactly what I want to learn. The MCP program on the other hand enhances my understanding of the urban systems and the underlying mechanisms. The dual degree program steers me towards my goal of being a professional spatial data analyst to facilitate urban planning and public policymaking. Furthermore, Penn’s MUSA and MCP programs are both STEM programs, which offer international students more opportunities to gain professional experience after graduation."
