I am a non US citizen (also currently is living outside US) and I was searching for undergraduate program of accounting major in US’ top universities. I just read this information on Chicago Booth website: https://www.chicagobooth.edu/programs/taking-courses-at-booth/undergraduate-students

According to the page:

“First-year College students are not permitted to take Booth courses.”

Q: Why freshmen are not permitted to take Booth courses?, what are they doing during their first-year at college?, does this happen only in Chicago Booth?, what about Wharton School of Upenn? and other Ivy league universities that also have accounting major program especially undergraduate program?, I also read some information about accounting program on Harvard’ HBS site and just learned that they only offer Accounting program for graduate students only. Why don’t they offer 4-year accounting major program for undergraduate students?
