Program Curriculum
The flexible design of the Huntsman curriculum allows students to graduate in four years with a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (from the College of Arts & Sciences) and a Bachelor of Science in Economics (from Wharton). While receiving two degrees in four years involves many requirements, students often find that they have a surprising amount of flexibility within those requirements, the freedom to take electives outside of them and enough spare time to become highly involved in extracurricular and social activities.
A total of 40 course units are required for graduation. General requirements in the College and in Wharton provide students with an introduction to the many different fields offered by each school. The International Studies major and the Wharton concentration allow students to specialize in the areas that most interest them. The interdisciplinary nature of the International Studies major means that each Huntsman student is able to personalize his or her curriculum, and no two Huntsman students will have exactly the same educational experience.
The basic components of the Huntsman Curriculum are as follows:
International Studies Major Requirements
International Studies (3 courses)
Area Studies (3 courses)
Advanced Language (4 courses)
International Business (3 courses)
Senior Thesis (1 course)
College General Requirements*
Sector Requirements (7 courses)
Wharton Requirements*
Leadership: Management 100 (1 course)
Economics & Calculus (3 courses)
Wharton Business Fundamentals (9 courses) (Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management, Operations & Information Management, Statistics)
Business Concentration (4 courses)
- Some courses will fulfill two requirements. For example, History 107, the Huntsman freshman seminar in Comparative Capitalist Systems, fulfills an International Studies requirement in the International Studies major and also fulfills the sector IV (Humanities and Social Science Interdisciplinary). Economics 010, a combination of micro and macroeconomics, fulfills a Wharton requirement and also sector I (Society) under the College General requirements. Huntsman students are able to earn each degree with fewer requirements than a single-degree student would have to fulfill in each school.

“Lead bullets flattened by human teeth have been found on the camp site. Soldiers who had been caught stealing food from nearby farms customarily chewed on a bullet as the lash was laid on their bare backs.”

“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
