Concentrations
Instead of choosing a major in the traditional sense, you'll pick a concentration — four upper-level courses in a business specialty area of your choice. All Wharton students graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Economics.
Because we have so many professors and departments, we're able to offer more than 20 different concentrations for you to choose from, including ones like Real Estate, Actuarial Science, Health Care Management & Policy, and Retailing that you won't find at most business schools or in any liberal arts programs. And if your interests don't fit neatly into any one concentration, you can work with a professor to create your own. Examples of individualized concentrations include Strategy, Statistical Marketing Analysis, Sports Management, and Media & Entertainment.

Since concentrations are just four courses, it's easy for students to add or change them. You have a lot of flexibility and time to decide what you are passionate about, and there are advisors, students, and faculty to help you through the process of figuring it all out.
