Pardon @“45 Percenter” - but can’t wharton undergrad design their own dual degree program?

See here under “additional dual degrees” - https://www.wharton.upenn.edu/academic-programs/

In any case, and while my knowledge of the undergrad is now 10+ yrs old and doesn’t match your position on the vanguard, wharton undergrad can certainly still minor in history, no? Unless this has changed, this puts the undergrad in a very different position than Princeton or Columbia, where, no matter how hard you look, you can’t find undergrad business students also intensely studying history.

Relatedly, the number pursuing this path may be small, but the fact it exists and given the strong vein of interdisciplinary study at Penn means using 6400 is far tio narrow.

Again, I’m not saying this is a good or bad thing - it just places upenn in an arena dissimilar to many of its peers. And it makes it difficult to use 6400 as the number to find those interested in history.
