Regardless of school or major, all Penn undergraduates get a premiere liberal arts and sciences foundation while gaining exposure to the fundamental ideas and practices of nursing, engineering, and business. Penn’s flexible curriculum makes it possible for students to sample among more than 4,200 courses (including offerings in more than 50 languages), choose from a variety of interdisciplinary minors, and pursue more than one degree.
