<p>Isn’t there supposed to be a new program this year where you’re in both Vagelos and Wharton? They only accept 25 kids or something like that… why hasn’t there been any mention of this?</p>
<p>I know a friend of a friend got into the program ED this year… I’m just curious if it’s just another box to check off on the application or what.</p>
<p>I have never heard of this program.</p>
<p>Roy and Diana Vagelos Program in Life Sciences and Management
Wharton’s newest interdisciplinary program, the Roy and Diana Vagelos Program in Life Sciences and Management, allows students to combine a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Wharton School with a science concentration from the College of Arts & Sciences, or a Bachelor of Arts in a science major from the College of Arts & Sciences with a Wharton concentration. All students participate in a common core course, an upper-division science research project, and internships in both science and business. The innovative curriculum, fusing science and management education, prepares students for careers in such rapidly expanding fields as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.</p>
<p>This is a new program which is open to this year’s class. You can find more information about it if you search <a href=“http://www.upenn.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.upenn.edu</a>.</p>

<p>It’s not a joint degree though, like the Huntsman or Jerome Fisher programs.</p>
<p>What I Wrote Was Cut And Pasted From The Penn Website. Correct Them I Was Just Trying To Help. Bye</p>
<p>huh?
What the Penn Website says is perfectly right.
I was just clarifying. There’s a difference between the new Vagelos program and the joint-degree programs.</p>
<p>Oh Merry Christmas</p>
<p>This is essentially a cross-minor program, with a fancy name.</p>
<p>As others mentioned, it isn’t the same in the sense that you don’t get a joint-degree.</p>
<p>Interesting, though, if science is your thing.</p>
