Wharton Undergraduate Program: FAQ

Filed under: Epistemology

Wharton Undergraduate Program: FAQ

Q. Is a Wharton education relevant for me?
A. Whether you enter business, education, medicine, law, the arts, or any other field of endeavor, successful leaders in the 21st century must have not only specialized knowledge, but also management expertise and an understanding of the economic, political, and social arenas in which business functions.

Wharton’s curriculum is designed to give you the breadth and depth of knowledge to be a successful leader. The combination of arts & sciences and business fundamentals will enable you to understand both operations and strategy, the details and the big picture, the nuances of local culture, and the impact of the global context.

Widely recognized as the premier business school in the country, and the only undergraduate business school in the Ivy League, our curriculum draws upon the full range of resources at the University of Pennsylvania to provide an outstanding business and liberal arts & sciences education.

Q. Will undergraduate business studies be too limiting?
A. The tools that Wharton provides in analysis and problem solving can be applied in any context. In addition, you may explore a range of courses at Penn that is second to none. Wharton undergraduates go on to medical school, law school, graduate school and work in not-for-profit institutions as well as leading corporations. You will find that a Wharton education increases your opportunities rather than limits them.

top


Q. What degree will I receive from the Wharton School?
A. All students in the Wharton School’s undergraduate program receive a Bachelor of Science in Economics degree from the University of Pennsylvania.

Students declare one or more concentrations within their degree program. They may also pursue a minor with the College or a University minor (course content crosses different schools and disciplines.) Concentrations and minors are listed on a student’s official transcript but do not appear on their diploma.

Students also have the opportunity to pursue a dual degree (second degree) with each of the other undergraduate schools at Penn, even if they are not admitted to one of the four coordinated dual degree programs (Huntsman/IS&B, Fisher/M&T, Nursing & Health Care Management, Vagelos/Life Sciences & Management).

Students may enroll as a submatriculant in the graduate law, MBA, or doctoral programs.

Q. If I plan to get an MBA after graduating from college, why should I choose to study for an undergraduate degree at Wharton?
A. If you already know your direction in life, Wharton will put you miles ahead on your career path. If your interests are broad and varied, Wharton will help you fully explore a range of options while developing fundamental business skills.

Intrigued by foreign languages and cultures? Fascinated by political science or public service? Interested in music, and math? Committed to community building or improving the environment?

A Wharton education will help you transform personal interests and academic passions into career opportunities. You will be able to assume a responsible position sooner than other college graduates who lack a rigorous grounding in the fundamentals of business.

top


Q. How do you assess candidates?
A. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions handles all admission. Each applicant is assessed as an individual, and we evaluate

  • high school academic performance
  • standardized testing
  •  recommendations
  •  non-scholastic achievements
  •  leadership,
  • personal maturity.

The university Admissions Committee looks for individuals who will be future leaders. There are no fixed criteria and no cut-offs in terms of grades or test scores. Because such a high percentage of our applicant pool is qualified for admission, successful applicants are those who present the most compelling cases and distinguish themselves from other applicants.

top


Q. How many applications do you receive for a given class?
A. Application volume for Wharton single and the coordinated degrees averages around 5,500. Each year we matriculate about 500 students in the first-year class.

Harvard University online class : Harvard online degree, Ivy League online | Online College Blog and School Reviews

Filed under: Epistemology

there are dozens of Harvard University online courses available to students. Although they are yet to offer a complete online degree program, they do offer two graduate-level online certificate programs that may be completed entirely online: Applied Sciences and Environmental Management. Alternately, you can simply take a few classes in a subject that interests you such as accounting or linguistics to spice up your resume.

Please note, if you are interested in earning a degree through the Harvard Extension School, you may do so, but you will have to combine online courses with some classroom attendance. If you are unable to meet this requirement and would like to earn a complete degree or certificate online from a high caliber institution, check out one of these top-ranked schools: Cornell, University of Notre Dame, Boston University, and Tulane University.

Harvard University Online Tuition

Tuition is charged per course and varies depending on whether the course is being taken for noncredit, undergraduate, or graduate credit. Tuition varies, but figure on spending between $800 and $1975 per course (reduced tuition is available for certain courses if you take the course on a non-credit basis).

Although you may not be able to physically commute to an Ivy League campus, that shouldn’t keep you from “attending” classes at an Ivy League university.By far, Columbia, Harvard, and Cornell have the most extensive online programs. I give Penn, Dartmouth, and Yale an honorable mention.
