Is it possible to transfer from Penn LPS to Penn SEAS?

<p>I'm thinking of applying to Penn LPS for a B.A. in Chemistry, but I'm also interested in the engineering aspect of Chemistry, too. Would it be difficult to transfer from LPS to SEAS? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Penn LPS is just a program for bringing in transfer students, primarily non-traditional students. If you come into Penn through LPS, you can declare any of the majors that any other Penn student can declare. It is the exact same program, with the exact same classes, and the exact same degree. I’ve gotten letters from Penn LPS, and looked into it a fair bit. </p>

<p>@comfortablycurt‌ : Can you declare an engineering major?</p>

<p>@comfortablycurt‌:</p>

<p>That’s not completely true. For one, in LPS, you’re limited to a set of majors (listed here: <a href=“BA Majors-Minors | Penn LPS”>http://www.sas.upenn.edu/lps/undergraduate/ba/curriculum/majors-minors&lt;/a&gt;). I don’t see any engineering majors listed.</p>

<p>Also, from what I understand, you can take the daytime classes, but most of them are nighttime.</p>

<p>I spoke with advisers at Penn a couple times, and they both told me that you can declare any major that is offered at Penn. It’s possible that I was given some inaccurate information, but that’s how I understood it. I’m a physics major, and they told me that I’d be able to take an expanded physics curriculum including every upper level physics class that any other physics major would take, as well as room for upper level physics/math electives. I didn’t inquire about engineering, so that may be an exclusion. </p>

<p>@comfortablycurt‌ : I think engineering might be an exception. There is a Physics and Astronomy major listed under majors and minors at Penn LPS, so it is totally possible that you could have been told that you could simply declare Physics like any other person at Penn and take the expanded curriculum, too.</p>

You can’t get into Wharton undergrad from LPS. enough said

SEAS is not Wharton.
