I don’t know about Yale, but at Penn you would probably be able to explore all of your interests with a few different options, depending on what you end up wanting to concentrate in.

One option would be majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics which would let you study both political science and econ (which is not quite business but would still let you go into business), and then you could do a second major (which is only 12 credits) or a minor in computer science.

If you decided that you wanted to do more with computer science, you could look into a BAS (instead of a BSE) in computer science, and you could do a second major or a minor in political science, and maybe a minor in engineering entrepreneurship if you have room to get some business in there.

If you want to give up political science, you could look at the Management and Technology program which would let you get a degree in finance and computer science, though this program is extremely selective, regardless of your qualifications.

I’m sure that there are more options that you could pursue, but I would say research both Penn and Yale and see which one has more flexibility and options with what you’re interested in, since you never know where your interests will go after your first year.
