<p>If one gets rejected from M&T but accepted to Wharton, can he/she simply get a second degree from SEAS? If it is possible, what is the point of this program? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Yes you can.</p>
<p>The program is a joint degree, while getting a second degree would be a dual degree. A dual degree would most likely be more work.</p>
<p>and would the second degree mean approximately double tution cost?</p>
<p>What? No. Not at all...ahahahaha.</p>
<p>^^^^^
Can you confirm snipanlol's answer?</p>
<p>that's like saying, if i can get into med school from my state school, why go to penn.</p>
<p>the point of m+t is having access to better resources, and a specialized m+t-only alumni / internship network, as well as special courses designed foremost for m+t kids (mgmt 235, mgmt 237).</p>
<p>And yes you can indeed get a dual degree. And tenebrousfire seems to be a bit overzealous about M&T :)</p>
<p>well i'm not really overzealous... i'm not even in m+t...</p>
<p>(i'm premed, not so interested in the wharton side of things except for a few management and marketing topics...)</p>
<p>Thanks!. .</p>
<p>Finally, tenebrous, someone not interested in wharton :D</p>
<p>you do not need the whole set of wharton courses, but some you should take no matter what just to know facts of life: micro econ, basic acctg, mktg, corp finance, business strategy. you do not need MBA/BA in business just some of these courses for real learning.</p>
<p>Yes you can do a dual degree between SEAS and Wharton, but you have more class requirements than the typical M&T student.</p>
<p>Arts and Sciences (BS Econ./BA from the College of Arts and Sciences)
Penn Engineering (BS Econ./BAS or BS Econ./BSE from Penn Engineering)
Nursing (BS Econ./BSN from the School of Nursing)</p>
<p>i think that once you get here you will realize that the seas/wharton dual degree is much more daunting than you think. In order to successfully complete the dual degree in 4.5 (!) years you will need to come in with a handful of AP credits, average 6 credit units a semester, and take only required classes.</p>
