Dual Degree Between Schools?

<p>I recently looked at UPENN and really enjoyed the campus, and the overall environment of the school. I am really interested in Computer Science and Business Administration/management and was wondering if it would be possible to do a dual degree with both. Does UPenn allow you to do this? Any knowledge you have on the subject would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I went to an admissions info session this week and I think they mentioned this topic. I think it is possible (emphasis on “think”)</p>

<p>Just so you know, Wharton doesn’t give out degrees in “Business Administration”. That’s more what Ross (at UMichigan) has.</p>

<p>The answer is yes.</p>

<p>There are 2 types you can do: coordinated and uncoordinated. A coordinated Dual Degree program is something you apply for when you’re in high school; these are specific programs. I have a friend doing Huntsman which is International Business, between the College and Wharton. Look at the link fogcity provided for a list of the ones that engineering offers with other schools.</p>

<p>Uncoordinated means you’re just pursuing 2 bachelor’s degrees at the same time, in 2 different schools. You have to apply after either your first year or during your sophomore year or at the end of your sophomore year. There are prerequisites to being accepted to dual degree, and you have to have a high GPA. It’s more credits than the coordinated programs, but if you don’t like what the coordinate programs offer, it’s an option.</p>

<p>My son is in the M&T program at UPENN now entering his second year. The M&T program accepts roughly 50 kids a year into a duel degree program between the School of Engineering and Wharton. He’ll end up with a BS from both schools in 4 years.</p>

<p>My son has really loved the M&T program. He has become close friends with many of the other kids in the group. There are many special activities for students in this program. Search it on the web.</p>
