<p>I think it’s fairly self-evident that Swarthmore is different from the Wharton School of Business. Of course, they do share a common benefactor – Philadelphia industrialist Joseph Wharton, whose name is prominent at both schools.</p>

<p>If you want a degree in finance, then Swarthmore isn’t the place for that. They don’t offer a Finance major. If you want a liberal arts education with a major in Economics, then Swarthmore is one of the best programs in the United States. Social sciences in general and Economics in particular, are long-standing Swarthmore specialities. Swarthmore is the #1 per capita producer of Econ PhDs, political science PhDs, and social science PhDs. It’s social science departments are very highly regarded.</p>
