If you’re interested in the Wharton School, you must apply to transfer after your first-year to enter for your sophomore year. There are no spaces available for entering juniors.
To apply, you must meet specific academic requirements by the end of the term in which you are enrolled at the time of transfer application. Beyond academics, it’s important that you have demonstrated leadership skills through involvement in your current college community.
If you want to transfer after one year of college, you must have completed:
- One semester of calculus (MATH 1400), which can be fulfilled by:
- A score of “5” on the AP Calculus BC exam (no credit is awarded for the AB exam)
- A course deemed to be equivalent to MATH 1400
- One semester of introductory microeconomics, which can be fulfilled by:
- A score of “5” on the AP Microeconomics exam
- A score of “6” or “7” on the IB Higher Level Economics exam
- A course deemed to be equivalent to ECON 0100
- One semester of introductory macroeconomics, which can be fulfilled by:
- A score of “5” on the AP Macroeconomics exam
- A score of “6” or “7” on the IB Higher Level Economics exam
- A course deemed to be equivalent to ECON 0200
Or, in lieu of separate introductory courses in micro and macroeconomics:
- One semester of a combined introductory micro and macroeconomics course (BEPP 1000), which can be fulfilled by a course deemed to be equivalent to BEPP 1000.
We recommend that you satisfy Wharton's foreign language requirement by the time you enroll at Penn. The requirement is equivalent to two semesters of college-level language courses and can be fulfilled by either completion of coursework or appropriate placement scores.
