Engineering/Business UPenn

Hey, so I just got into Penn RD and I’ll be in the engineering school. However, I’ve always wanted to do business/economics in some capacity (possibly a minor). At Cornell (a school I also got into) they have a business minor for engineers in Dyson which seems like something I would like, but I don’t know if Penn has anything like this through Wharton. Can you do econ through the college? Thanks. Btw, Penn is my first choice :slight_smile:

You can do econ through the college. You cannot minor in anything through Wharton except for statistics.

Oh :frowning: I probably should’ve applied for M&T ugh.

You can try to transfer into the M&T program in your sophomore year…

I am worried :0

Or you can go for both an engineering degree and a second degree. It will likely add another year on though.

Congrats on your acceptances!

I was happy to get into Penn and now I’m like oh my major :0

SEAS has an engineering entrepreneurship minor. 2 core classes are very well taught and great experiences, first is case studies and second develops a business plan. Explore your technical interests, take Econ as your humanities classes and then pick specific Wharton or Law classes that apply to your field, join a Wharton club in that field. At Penn you always have plenty of access and will only be limited by the curriculum space and time left after fulfilling your SEAS major requirements.
