How feasible is the Dual Degree without a Coordinated Program

<p>I definitely want to pursue a minor while at Penn, right now I am between a minor in Computer Science or the Energy and Sustainability minor. Both in SEAS of course. While those seem feasible, well Computer science seems more doable than ENSU, I want to know how ridiculous a dual degree with the engineering school and Wharton would be. I have heard that it can take up to 5 years to complete, and that is with some overloaded schedules. Is there anyone out there currently doing this, or knows someone who is, who can share their thoughts on how difficult it is? Thanks for any information.</p>

<p>If its only a minor, I dont think it would be that hard.</p>

<p>I think this would be a problem if trying to dual degree a full Wharton degree and a full engineering degree.</p>

<p>Anecdotally speaking, it’s entirely possible to graduate in four years in your situation as long as you enter with lots of AP credit and a foreign language exemption, and you take classes that count toward both Wharton and SEAS requirements.</p>

<p>Isn’t there a limit on AP Credit, I read that we can only use 1 Ap credit per general education section? And yes hopefully I can get that Language exemption.</p>

<p>Does the language exemption require spanish with listening or is without listening fine?</p>

<p>I emailed Penn about that for French, but have not got a reply yet, I will probably call them up this week, I do know that even if you don’t take the SAT II for the language, you can take a placement exam at Penn.</p>

<p>Let us know what they say! I am also interested in coordinating my own dual degree program (Wharton and Theatre at CAS). I emailed an advisor a month ago and they never got back to me!</p>

<p>Yeah, I will. I think a Dual degree between Wharton and CAS should be more feasible than with SEAS, just by the nature of the courses. There are some interesting minors offered by the Engineering school, so I am looking into those. Does anyone know why the Nanotech minor and Finance at Wharton pair together well, that was a thing that was mentioned on the Nanotech site. Is it just that a lot of courses overlap?</p>

<p>An update on the whole Language Exemption situation:</p>

<p>I called the Undergraduate Admissions Office and asked them if they required a 650+ on the SAT II test WITH listening for the exemption, and they responded that either one is fine, so you do not need the one with listening, also they offer a computerized exam at Penn as well that you can take. Hope this helps everyone</p>

<p>Anyways, back to the original topic, assuming I get the language exemption, or at least only have to do at max 2 semesters of a language, I have 4 AP credits I can use (Calc BC, and then one for each of the general education sections). Does this make getting a minor more doable, as in, I won’t have to take 6-7 classes a semester and destroy my life. Any people out there pursuing a minor in the engineering school?</p>

<p>Since the CS and ENSU minor only require 6 and 7 credit units respectively (see [here[/url</a>] and [url=<a href=“Majors”>Minor in Energy and Sustainability]here](<a href=“All Degree Requirements”>Minor in CS)</a>) I would bet that it would only require 5-6 extra courses compared to just a major since some of the minor classes could be used as general education credits.</p>
