Interdisciplinary Programs
Penn's four undergraduate and twelve graduate schools provide a wealth of opportunity for innovative, interdisciplinary approaches.
Penn is committed to the idea that the most challenging questions and problems of our time cannot be addressed by one discipline or profession. To comprehend our complex world, we must better integrate knowledge from different disciplines and professional perspectives in our research and teaching.
Coordinated Dual-Degree, Dual-Degree, and Accelerated-Degree Programs
Penn's Coordinated Dual-Degree Programs offer students the opportunity to pursue coordinated curricula jointly offered by two schools within the University. Students receive two degrees upon completion of the interdisciplinary coursework. Applicants should be aware that size limitations within these special programs result in more competitive admissions policies.The College of Arts and Sciences and the Wharton School
