<p>is that possible?</p>
<p>one more thing.. when you go to wharton for business for undergrad.. how does that work? like you just go for four years? and your done? no grad school? and do u pick a major such as like finance for example within the wharton school??? im confused and a junior maybe interested in applying to penn next year</p>
<p>wait and are there wharton undergrads and grads?!?!?!? how does that work too ahh</p>
<p>Wharton undergrads, grads, and phd's too</p>
<p>I dunno about CAS and Wharton at the same time. I guess your app is to the college, and then you apply to Wharton separately too. So yes, you automatically to the two at the same time.</p>
<p>do u still needa go to grad school after wharton undergrad?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You apply to one or the other. Wharton or CAS. Not both.</p></li>
<li><p>Wharton offers undergraduate programs, MBAs, and PhDs. You're only applying to the undergraduate program. After you complete the 4 year undergrad program, you can do whatever you want - work, go back to school, or anything.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>OK I was wrong. Sorry about that.</p>
<p>you can apply to both -- vagelos LSM and huntsman. but otherwise, no.</p>
<p>Ny0rker - I may be interpreting this wrong, but are you asking if Wharton as an undergrad is equivalent to business school?</p>
<p>If this is the question, then no - undergrad business at Wharton is not the same as earning an MBA from Wharton. I believe those graduating from Wharton receive a BS in Economics. </p>
<p>However, Wharton undergrad is very prestigious and is often sort of a "pre-business" route for those looking for MBAs. Many students also choose to enter the job market after undergrad before their MBA and Wharton students are usually among the most highly recruited for those with undergraduate business degrees.</p>
<p>You can't apply to both.</p>
<p>You can, however, transfer.</p>
<p>I think the Huntsman Program will get you a degree from both or something like that.</p>
<p>It's really hard to get into, though.</p>
<p>To summarize (because this is confusing):</p>
<p>Penn requires that you pick one school to apply to. Wharton and CAS are separate schools; you can only apply to one. There is a limited exception for a few dual-degree programs that are very competitive, and even there you have to pick one or the other as your backup school in case you aren't admitted to the dual degree program.</p>
<p>Wharton awards bachelor's degrees to undergraduates. There are many majors at Wharton, but Economics isn't one of them. Economics is in CAS. Wharton students can and do take economics courses.</p>
<p>The MBA and undergraduate curricula are separate. Getting a Wharton undergraduate degree doesn't replace getting an MBA (although lots of Wharton undergrads never bother getting MBAs, and lots do).</p>
<p>Wharton undergrads take courses offered by other schools at Penn, and vice versa.</p>
<p>It is fairly easy to transfer out of Wharton into another school. It is easy to transfer in to Wharton, too, provided you have an insanely high GPA. Without the insanely high GPA, it's impossible.</p>
<p>JHS is right. But to clarify, Wharton undergrads specifically get a Bachelor of Science in Economics (whereas all College majors get a Bachelor of Arts in whatever field..even economics). Their equivalent of majors are "concentrations" in subjects like finance, marketing, management, etc.</p>
