Huntsman program @ upenn???

Question

is there any program similar to the huntsman program (at upenn wharton) at any other university (preferably at indiana university, emory, or university of michigan)?

Would it be possible to construct a program at indiana, emory, or umich similar to huntsman? how would I go about doing so?

Answer 1

First of all, assuming you are a student, you can't construct academic programs at a university. The university has to do that - there is a huge financial investment involved, and they would have to have or hire the appropriate faculty and get the buy-in from the college that is needed. I looked this up, and the Huntsman program was started by the university with a donation of over $50 million from a donor who agreed with the importance of globalization. Thus unless it is something the other universities want to do and you have an extra $50 million sitting around, it can't be done!
