Program and Curriculum
Our campus was created with Penn students in mind—our four undergraduate and twelve graduate schools, three teaching hospitals, and 100+ research centers are all within a 10-minute walk of each other, so you have easy access to the entire University and unlimited opportunities to explore.Regardless of school or major, all Penn undergraduates are able to investigate and understand our world through an arts and sciences foundation. Most students begin their education in one of the four schools but may take courses across all four. We’ve organized our curriculum to make it possible for students to sample from among more than 4,200 courses (including offerings in more than 40 languages), choose from a variety of interdisciplinary minors, and pursue more than one degree.
