<p>B.A. Economics</p>
<p>Let the debate begin…</p>
<p>I am guessing you can still change your mind if you just forget about the deposit? I am sorry that I cant be any help in your decision-making process.</p>
<p>I might be wrong, but I think that if you go to Penn and satisfy all of the graduation requirements for another undergrad program, e.g. Wharton, you also get a BA from Wharton. I consider this to be highly valuable, and I bet that there would be many classes that would cover a BA in Econ and a BA in Wharton. Furthermore, and again I might be wrong, most majors at Penn do NOT require the usual 120 hours to graduate, so to equate the load to another school there should be a consideration that if courses don’t overlap for both degrees there is still the advatage of not having to take as many classes to complete the degree. Lastly, and again I might be wrong, Penn allows its undergrads to take several grad level classes as an undergrad, and these classes may be highly valuable.</p>
<p>Like kono I don’t know but I highly doubt that you can get a BA from Wharton without being in Wharton. If for no other reason than that some of th required classes would be restricted to Wharton majors</p>
<p>CAS students can only take a limited number of wharton classes - to receive both degrees, a student would have to apply to the Wharton program as a dual-major student.</p>
<p>Also, the CAS department offers the B.A. in Economics while only Wharton offers the B.S. in Economics</p>
<p>The two are different</p>

<p>This link supports that you can dual degree (someone had told me that this is a back door to a Wharton undergrad degree). </p>
<p>I agree, I am sure that you are bottom on the list for enrolling in some classes.</p>
<p>It’s a back door, but it is not as though you simply take the classes and suddenly you get the degree. You must apply for the dual degree program, it isn’t automatic. Also I don’t know how many credits jaek has but it says you can apply after freshman or sophomore year, also since he is a transfer he won’t have any Penn grades for them to base admission to the dual degree program. Additionally, it says that it usually takes longer than four years for people coming in as freshman, in my mind if you want to be in school more than 4 years you might as well go for a masters.</p>
