Wharton professors will teach 'fintech' — a cross between finance and technology — to students around the world in a new online program. Wharton Online released the fintech specialization on Coursera, an online learning platform, on May 30. The program, titled "Fintech: Foundations and Applications of Financial Technology," contains four courses and covers subjects from cryptocurrency and blockchain to crowdfunding and robo-advising. The courses will each cost a monthly fee of $79 and will be taught by Wharton finance and Penn Law professors. https://www.thedp.com/article/2019/06/penn-wharton-fintech-finance-online-tech
