Academics

Penn is a place that’s known for firsts. For greats. For sparking revolutionary ideas. For Ivy League prestige and Philly spirit. And for nurturing innovative thinkers who see that the way things are isn’t the way things have to be.
Learning At Penn

With interdisciplinarity in our DNA, and Penn's founder, Benjamin Franklin’s spirit of reinvention inherent in all we do, we are persistent in our quest for knowledge. This knowledge is pursued not solely with a sense of self-fulfillment, but also with the purpose of being in service to society.
