Internal Transfer & Dual Degree: FAQ

No. The admissions committee will not review letters of recommendation.

Students can take required courses over the summer as long as those courses are completed prior to applying for entry into Wharton. This means that students applying in the spring for fall term entry cannot take required courses in the summer after their application has been submitted.

The requirement is 4 CUs per semester. It is not an average. So, if you only take 3 CUs one semester, you would not be eligible.

University Minors, the Statistics Minor, and the Moelis Advance Access Program are options that you might want to consider.

If you have received an AP or IB score that counts as a course waiver or yields a credit for a course or you have transfer credit for a required course, you do not need to retake those courses. Transfer credit and AP/IB scores or credits must appear on the student’s record before the application is submitted. 

Note that AP/IB scores will appear under “Testing” in your student profile (see example below with a highlighted AP score of 5 that will satisfy the ECON 0200 requirement):

Retroactive credit from a B or better in Math 1410 will fulfill the Math 1400 requirement. Please see the Department of Mathematics website for more information.

Yes, students who have completed MATH 1410 (MATH 114) are eligible to take STAT 4300 and 4310 for the Business Fundamentals sequence instead of STAT 1020 and another higher-level statistics course.

Note: Starting with Advance Registration in spring 2022, all course numbers are changing from 3 to 4 numbers/characters. In general, if the old course number was <100, the new course number will be the old number prefaced by a zero. If the old course number was >100, the new course number will be the old number with a zero appended to the end, e.g., STAT 101 becomes STAT 1010.

A student who has an incomplete grade because they need to take a make-up exam at the start of the following semester is permitted to apply. Should this student be accepted, there will be contingencies on the acceptance such as a minimum final grade in the course and a cumulative GPA that remains above the required minimum. All contingencies will be detailed in the email notifying the student of their admissions decision.

If you have been subject to disciplinary action from OSC, you are still permitted to apply for internal transfer or a dual degree; However, you should explain the situation in your response to the disciplinary action question on the application. The committee will carefully consider your answer.

You will need to submit an application to Wharton in addition to your HCM, M&T, or LSM application. You should apply to Wharton as if this was your only dual-degree application. If you are not accepted by HCM, M&T, or LSM, Wharton will then consider your application.

This is a matter that you should discuss one-on-one with an advisor in your home school.

The number of seats available varies each semester depending on our current student enrollment.

All accepted students must enroll in WH 1010 in the fall semester immediately following their acceptance. Admitted rising sophomores must complete BEPP 2500 or ECON 2100 (ECON 101) by the end of their sophomore year.

Yes, as long as you meet the requirements.
