Quick question:
I am applying to AI: Computer and Cognitive Science. I was writing my supplement for UPenn, but I found this notice:

  • Students applying to Digital Media Design and Computer & Cognitive Science should address both the specialized program and single-degree choice in their response. For students applying to the other coordinated dual-degree and specialized programs, please answer this question in regards to your single-degree school choice; your interest in the coordinated dual-degree or specialized program may be addressed through the program-specific essay.

What do they mean by “Both specialized program and single-degree choice”? From what I understand, isn’t AI:Computer and Cognitive Science" a specialized program of Penn Engineering? Then what is Single degree choice?

Thanks…

Don’t you apply to both a specialized program and a “backup” degree? The single choice would be that backup one

If you’re doing the BS/BA route then you pick either the College or SEAS as your single degree choice.
