<p>Yale. "Business" isn't even a real degree. It's vocational.</p>
<p>Studyless, it might benefit you to talk to some faculty members in areas such as marketing, management, etc. to learn just how academic it is. Yeah, they actually have PhDs. Go figure.</p>
<p>But in the meantime, keep on sounding elitist and insulting people, you're doing a great job.</p>
<p>Studyless, saying that Marketing and Management and accounting aren't academic disciplines is one of the stupidest and most inane things I've ever heard.</p>
<p>Wharton is multi-faceted, and not at all vocational. </p>
<p>At Wharton, "undergraduate business" is a balance of classs throughout different fields that will be useful later on in the business world.
When they say "study business" they mean "study a nice mix of courses that will prepare you for analyzing problems that you might encounter in a future corporate job".</p>
<p>Classes taken include intensive work in statistics, computer programming, global politics and policy, domestic policy, international relations, economics, finance, and proficiency in a language. This is certainly different and much more diverse than the educaton you'd find in MBA classrooms.</p>
<p>Don't think Marketing is an academic discipline? At Wharton, a large part of the marketing curriculum is working with statistical analysis and calculus-level math (using derivatives and integrals of graphs, etc.) It's not just drawing pretty pictures. </p>
<p>Also, exactly half of your classes throughout your four years need to be in liberal arts outside of Wharton, so I wouldn't worry at all about missing out.</p>
<p>Also, it's worth noting that Wharton is Penn's pride and joy..you'll definitely be catered to in terms of the job search, having great professors, advising, etc. </p>
<p>I ended up choosing Wharton over other schools (Harvard, CMU, MIT, and NYU) not only because of the Wharton curriculum, but because of the general atmosphere of Penn as a whole. I hope you'll visit campus - if you do, you'll see that it's such a vibrant atmosphere. When I went for Penn Previews, a student saw me carrying one of the token Pre-Frosh bags. He stopped me and asked me how I was liking Penn, and was really enthusiastic. It seemed so genuine and friendly, and actually ended up influencing me in my choice. Penn is a great place to spend four years.</p>
<p>That being said, both are great schools, obviously. Good luck with your choice! Definitely pm me if you want any advice on anything.</p>
<p>All Wharton students receive a B.S. in Economics (with concentration in Finance, Management, whatever). It is not a B.A. in Business Administration. Thus, while the concentration may be vocational, the overall Economics education is hardly so.</p>
