<p>is this possible, specifically if you are enrolled in wharton...</p>
<p>on the math department website it says that math as a second major is only applicable to college and engineering students only. can someone confirm that this is the absolute truth?</p>
<p>you can obtain a double degree regardless of the school you're in. In this case you would fulfill a degree in wharton, and an additional degree in CAS, wherein your major would be math.</p>
<p>so "The Major is open to SEAS undergraduates (as a second major) as well as to students in the College" under ADMISSION TO THE MAJOR PROGRAM does not apply. Mathematics</a> Major Information</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>and how would an overall gpa of 3.35 with a double major in math and bs. in econ with finance concentration look compared to an overall gpa of 3.65 of just a bs in econ with finance concentration?</p>
<p>Who's doing the looking?</p>
<p>im sorry, IB recruiters</p>
<p>I'm not sure if this is true, but I've been wondering about this. If you are trying to fulfill a dual degree in Wharton and the College do you have to satisfy the distributional requirements for both schools?</p>
<p>So if mathmajor92688 gets into Wharton can he just fulfill the math major requirements (18 cu or whatever it is) or does he also have to fulfill the College's distributional requirements?</p>
<p>If you're in Wharton and you want a math major, you also have to get the full College degree and finish all the distribution requirements.</p>
<p>If you're in Engineering (or maybe it was just Comp Sci) you don't have to finish the rest of the College degree requirements.</p>
<p>If you just want a good quantitative skill set for future iBanking (and don't want to go into math) you might be just as well off with a minor in math. That's probably all that I'll be doing. Mind you if you want to be a quant or something you will be better off with a major</p>
<p>a math major alone can land you a good ibanking job</p>
<p>so on the college website it says i need to take 13 math courses and 20 other courses. Credits</a> Needed for Graduation</p>
<p>i have been accepted to wharton already and will be deferring my acceptance for a year, allowing me to take a few courses at a community college. including calculus I, II, and III and Linear Algebra and Differential Equations.. which i think will equate to Math 104, 114, and possibly 240, based on the math department website syllabus and the course syllabus i have for the cc. </p>
<p>In this case, lets assume all the three courses will be covered. i will also take econ and stats at this cc, fufilling my econ 010... and stat 101 requirement, upon completion of stat 102. Thus i will be replacing three math classes for three required wharton classes i have theoretically placed out of, econ 010, stat 101, and math 104, bringing my math class count to 6, without so far putting any strain on the number of courses i have selected. </p>
<p>If i use 3 math courses in my science and technology general education requirement and 4 more math courses through the 3 unrestricted and 2 non-business electives requirement, there will be 13 math courses, the number required for a math major, without going over the standard 37 cu's for a wharton curriculum. </p>
<p>However, does this mean that i still need 20 more courses for that college degree which will bring my total cu's to 57 cu's to get a degree in wharton and a degree in math in the college?</p>
<p>can someone please comment on this. thanks a lot.</p>
<p>and sorry if my logic is unclear in anyway.</p>
<p>page 6 is the wharton curriculum spread sheet. <a href="http://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/forms/handbook_2008.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/forms/handbook_2008.pdf</a></p>

<li>You'll still need to take 12ish classes in the College. You need to fulfill all the requirements listed here.</li>
</ol>
<p>Curriculum</a> 2010 and Later</p>
<p>These requirements, except for the foreign language one which you can test out of, cannot be filled with transfer or AP credits.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Don't be so sure that credits will transfer that easily, especially from a community college. I've heard they are quite stingy about granting credit for Econ 010 especially. Same goes for Math 240, though credit for 104 and 114 are easily granted. Call the departments and ask, otherwise you might get disappointed.</p></li>
<li><p>Go to the math department web site and look up the required courses. It's not just 13 math courses. There are specific classes you need to take, which may or may not be able to count towards your Wharton electives.</p></li>
<li><p>If you're really dead set on it, I'd wait to take statistics until you get here, and then take STAt 430 and 431 instead of 101 and 102. 430 and 431 count as being within the math major, AND fulfill the Wharton stat requirement. They're quite a bit more rigorous and theoretical, but despite the high number, Freshman can take them and do well.</p></li>

<p>Phatalbert, is there a placement test i can take for Econ 010.</p>
<p>Where can i find how many classes i need to take in each sector and the foundational approaches? College</a> Curriculum - Course Listing</p>
<p>You only need one class for each sector and each foundational approach. Only one class can be double counted. Language is the odd one out. You just need to prove proficiency in one, which I think for a total beginner in a new language is roughly 4 semesters.</p>
<p>Not sure if there's a placement test for Econ 010, I just know almost no one I know skipped it, despite having AP Econ credit.</p>
<p>phatalbert,
so when you say only one class can be double counted that means only one class can be double counted between the social structures and language arts requirements of the wharton curriculum?</p>
<p>also does taking the writing seminar freshmen year fulfill both the college degree and wharton degree requirement at the same time? does that count as the only double counted course?</p>
<p>and do the math courses you take towards the major count towards the natural sciences and mathematics sector?</p>
<p>between the foundations and sectors of the college curriculum</p>
<p>if i can double count 1 class from the sectors to the foundationals and 4 classes from the language arts and social structures of the wharton curriculum to the sectors and foundationals that would leave 12-1-4= 7 extra and separate sector and foundational courses to take?</p>
<p>can a course count for a sector or foundational, social structures, and a global environment requirement? hahah</p>
<p>dude...why not just wait and talk all of this out with your advisor</p>
