In reply to the discussion: What kind of education did Trump get at Wharton? [View all]DFW
(54,369 posts)Since my major was in the "humanities," I had to complete 3 semesters each in both "natural sciences" and "social sciences." Sometimes, I wondered how they decided which was which. For my 3 social sciences, I took the aforementioned Economics, Linguistics and Anthropology, which blew me away by being so interesting that I nearly changed my major. It's probably better that I didn't though. I thought it was the material that captivated me, but it turned out the professor I had became one of the best known and appreciated people in the field (his name was Alan Mann), and there was no guarantee that I would ever get anyone as good for the rest of my courses.
*on edit--"Penn to Wharton" isn't entirely accurate, as Wharton is part of Penn, both grad and undergrad. It's just that people looking to get a post-grad degree in business will only be attending classes at Wharton, instead of having their classes all over the campus.
