<p>I went to the website…checked out the credit requirements.</p>

<p>I know that in total it added up to a MAX of 13-15 credits dealing with humanities, liberal arts, etc…</p>

<p>I was always pretty set on getting a liberal arts education…no other degree but a B.A. was of interest to me…and then Wharton came along…haha, and let’s just say I’m not so set anymore (thankfully).</p>

<p>However, I’m still a humanities girl at heart-- I love my liberal arts…and though I would love a Wharton education…I’m just concerned that I won’t get enough lib arts in there along with all the business stuff.</p>

<p>How has the Wharton education worked out for you, with regards to my concerns mentioned above? Is there enough lib arts mixed in there? Or is it all business?</p>

<p>What percentage of the classes will actually involve intellectually stimulating discussion (and for now, let’s say business and money and econ talk does not fit in this category)?</p>

<p>I’m sure most Wharton kids are all really bright…but are most Wharton kids only business-minded folk, or is there a good mix of “intellectually curious” students in there too?</p>

<p>don't know if this will help, but @ the wharton lunch they said about 50% of wharton kids' courses are in the college, and of course if you can fit in more you can do that if you want to dual-degree w/ the college</p>

<p>One third is liberal arts. One third is business basics. One third is advanced business, I believe.</p>
