<p>ham, in terms of the curriculum possibilities at Penn, you definitely can take courses in Wharton as a student in SEAS (School of Engineering and Applied Science), and vice versa for students in Wharton. In fact, Penn has long made this an institutional priority with its “One University” policy. Under that policy, all undergrads are strongly encouraged to take courses in more than one of the undergraduate schools (College of Arts and Sciences, Wharton, SEAS, and Nursing), as well as in most of the graduate/professional schools (Law School, Annenberg School for Communication, School of Design, School of Social Policy and Practice, Graduate School of Education, etc.), without the need for any special dispensation. Also, it’s not uncommon for students to pursue dual degrees in two of the undergrad schools even without being in one of the formal dual degree programs (e.g., M&T).</p>
<p>So, for example, even if you weren’t admitted to the M&T program, you could still easily take Wharton courses (including finance) as an SEAS student, and you could even pursue dual degrees from both SEAS and Wharton.</p>
<p>Be aware, though, that to pursue a dual degree in Wharton while a student in one of the other undergrad schools–as opposed to just taking Wharton courses–you’d have to meet the same minimum GPA requirement as students seeking an internal transfer into Wharton from one of Penn’s other undergrad schools. That minimum varies from year to year depending on the number of spots available (see #14):</p>

<p>But again, even if you aren’t accepted for a dual degree, you can always still take Wharton courses.</p>
