How different are the curriculums of the College and Wharton during the first year? Say if I go to College as an undeclared major...how would I transfer to Wharton? would i need to make up courses?

What if I were to enter as an economics major in the college? How different are the classes of the economics major in the College than Wharton?

typical wharton first year:

-math 104 (calculus)
-econ 1

spring
-foreign language
-stat 101
-opim 101
-econ 2
-whatever

typical college

fall
-foreign language
-math 104 (lots take 103)
-writing
-whatever

spring
-foreign language
-whateverx3

"whatever" is usually a sector req or lower level classes in your major. there are a good number of college students who take econ 1/2 as two of their "whatevers." a lot of college students take five classes total, but college advisors usually advise them to take four for some reason.

college w/intent on transferring to wharton

fall
-math 104
-writing
-econ 1
-foreign language
-whatever

spring
-foreign language
-econ 2
-stat 101
-whatever x2, though i know some transfers took opim 101

i guess you can take four classes if you intend to transfer, but eight semesters times four classes is 32, and wharton has 37 required credits.
