In reply to the discussion: What kind of education did Trump get at Wharton? [View all]Greybnk48
(10,167 posts)35. I'm pretty sure his degree is from Penn,
with a couple of business classes picked up at Wharton, Penn's business school. Which is, or should be, REALLY embarrassing for Penn.
My dad did the same thing. He added business accounting to his Liberal Arts degree. His diploma is from Penn, with a certificate in business accounting from Wharton. I don't think Trump even did a program like my dad. I think he just took a couple of classes, which is not uncommon.
Trump did not apply to Wharton, nor was he accepted to their program. Not positive, but fairly certain.

Two years at Fordham, from what I recall reading. Transferred because Wharton had a real estate
