<p>I want to major in finance, but I know that this is not a major that every college has. So, what are some colleges that allow undergrads to take grad school courses. This way, I could major in econ but take finance/ accounting courses. An example of this is University of Chicago. Do you guys know any of these colleges? Thanks.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure those are called Universities.</p>
<p>Edit: I should probably explain better. Colleges tend to not have Graduate programs, but Universities do.</p>
<p>Right. But, probably not all universities let undergrads take courses in their grad schools. Like I said, I know U Chicago does this, and there really is no limit to how many you can take. How about a list of others?</p>
<p>I don't know if there is a list, because </p>
<p>a) I don't think it's that unusual.
b) It probably depends on the department. </p>
<p>You can at Ohio State, in the departments I'm involved in anyway.</p>
<p>At Harvard you can, but there is no accounting. So kids go to MIT.</p>
<p>Most colleges and universities that have graduate programs will permit upper level undergraduate students who have met the prerequisites take graduate level coursework. Sometimes the undergraduate student will have to get special permission from his/her advisor and/or from the professor. The rules are going to be different from one institution to another and even from one department to another.</p>
<p>You have to read the catalogues and talk to the individual departments to see what is possible.</p>
<p>In general, a good undergraduate University student can petition to take graduate-level courses in his/her major. For example, if you are an economics major, you can request graduate-level courses in economics from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. However, what you seem to be asking is whether or not you can take courses in the Graduate School of Business. I don't think most GBS will allow this unless you are an undergraduate business major. </p>
<p>If you know you want to major in finance, look at undergraduate business schools.</p>
<p>Most universities will open up courses in their graduate schools with varying levels of red-tape acrobatics, but universities that let you into the professional schools (business, law, etc) are rarer.</p>
<p>If your goal is getting access to accounting/finance courses, a promising alternative is to go to a university with an undergraduate business program that allows cross-registration. IE if you go to the College of Arts & Sciences as an econ major (or any major, really) you can load up on accounting and finance courses from Wharton undergrad.</p>
<p>While grad school is a different story, Chicago and Penn are certainly comparable at the undergrad level...</p>
<p>Chicago limits registration into its Booth (graduate business) classes to 6 classes per person (I heard this from somebody reputable) and might also limit classes in its law school and social work school. </p>
<p>In the general arts and sciences program, though, the course catalog often doesn't distinguish which classes are undergrad-only and which ones are mixes of grad and undergrad. Lots of undergraduate students take classes alongside graduate students.</p>
