    Doesn’t Wharton imply the MBA program, President Yuuge Brain notwithstanding?

    They have undergrads at Wharton, about 2,500 of them. In fact, the course that professor was referencing is a 1st- or 2nd-year course.

    She doesn't specify graduate or undergraduate - which is itself kind of interesting.

    Yeah, but the course she teaches is a 1st- or 2nd-year undergrad course.

    You should hear some of the first-years at my alma mater when they visit a family who really does live in a tar-paper shack.

    Even if you grow up in urban poverty, rural poverty is still jarring.

    Eh, whatever. I was surprised at first that recent high school grads in my town weren't taught about the three schoolgirls killed in the Birmingham church bombing. But then, I didn't learn about Medgar Evers until I went to college in the South.

    Maybe I was absent that year...

    Most elite MBA programs at elite universities that do not offer undergraduate degrees in business. For example Harvard, Stanford and Chicago have prestigious MBA programs but do not offer undergraduate business degrees. Wharton does a very large undergraduate program so a degree from Wharton does not imply an MBA..

    I just located the student who thought the average worker makes $800K a year.

    The undergraduate business degree has put food on my table for many a year, but I've long argued that, accounting notwithstanding, even in very good schools it's a waste of time.

    What does the typical degree require them to take?

    I am assuming there is accounting, finance and marketing for starters, maybe stats, various econ courses, maybe business law?

    Is it a waste because they end up surveying a lot of things rather than learning enough about any one thing?
