<p>So slightly different question here:
Is there a difference between getting a dual degree vs getting a double major in the same two subjects?
I’m going to be doing comp sci and I’m interested in AI and stuff, and the dual degree in computer and cognitive science seems to match my interests. But it also seems pointless as I can just double major math in the engineer school and do essentially the same thing, minus the annoying college sector requirements. Maybe I’m missing something here…</p>
<p>I may not be reading your question correctly, but…
Double Majoring gives you one degree from your school. Dual-Degree gives you two degrees from two different schools. (one from each)</p>
<p>is it possible to dual degree in biology and a major in wharton? if so, how?</p>
<p>@mailclu: that’s not exactly what I meant.
If I have both options available to me, which I do in the case of computer science and math, then what difference does it make as to which one I do?</p>
<p>@IAmABeast: As a CAS student if you apply for dual-degree status and get accepted then you will graduate with the following:</p>
<p>B.S. in Biology, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Pennsylvania
B.S. in Economics with a Concentration in Finance (or whatever major your choose), Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania</p>
