Wharton/CAS question

<p>If I attend the college of arts and sciences will I still be able to take classes at Wharton and SEAS?</p>

<p>For Wharton – yes. Very few classes are closed off as Wharton only – Management 100 is the only one I can think of offhand though there may be another. Will let someone else answer about SEAS – I feel like SEAS classes tend to have a lot more pre-requisites so you may be a bit closed off from those options for that reason – though if you plan well, it’s probably possible to take quite a few SEAS classes.</p>

<p>Thanks so much. Do students attending arts and sciences get to be in the same classes as wharton students?</p>

<p>As in – are you in the same section? Yes. Practically every Wharton class has 1-2 people (or more) from a different school; you don’t necessarily know it because it’s not like they are announcing who is from what school. Certain departments like Healthcare Management will attract people from SAS but also from the Med and nursing schools sometimes. I know I took 1-2 Wharton MBA classes as a law student; they were crossed listed with Wharton undergrad so those sections had Wharton undergrad, MBA, and Penn Law represented – quite a mix.</p>

<p>The undergraduate Penn colleges are tied together – “One Penn”. Assuming that you have the necessary prerequisites and the room to take electives you can courses at any Penn college. Some courses that are taught at Wharton, such as Statistics, are required for some CAS majors. And similarly some courses taught at CAS, such as economics, are often taken by Wharton students. In practice, because of required courses in the major, a CAS student is limited to the number of Wharton courses. By placing out (through AP credit) of some required CAS courses a student can increase the number of Wharton courses that he can take. That number can be as high as 10 over 4 years.</p>

<p>You must score a 5 (except for languages)on AP subjects in order to receive credit.There is a maximum amount of AP credits that Penn will recognize.</p>
