Advanced Placement (AP) credit is also available for several courses required for the program. Please refer to Penn's Advanced Placement policy or contact Emily Ford, Associate Director of Undergraduate Academic Affairs at 215-898-6687 or advisor@nursing.upenn.edu for further details.
Upperclassmen
After the first year of the dual degree program, students have several options for the way in which they structure the remainder of their curriculum. Dual degree students will have the opportunity to get advice from upperclass students in the program and to develop an individualized plan of study with Nursing and Wharton advisors to meet their specific needs and goals.
