About
First things first: We’re the University of Pennsylvania (aka Penn), an Ivy League research university founded by Ben Franklin in the heart of Philadelphia. Did that sound stuffy? It felt stuffy. Here’s what we’re really about:
Penn is a place for people who want to do something big. But it’s also for people for who want to try a bunch of little things first. It’s a place for sparking revolutionary ideas. For pioneering thinkers. And it’s a place that will help you figure out what inspires and excites you. Where you won’t just gain knowledge, you’ll make it. You’ll research solutions, invent ideas, engineer art – all in a culture that’s not about perfection, but about perfecting the pursuit.
The people who love it here? People who are drawn to other people and who are curious about everything. This is the time to figure things out. Try everything that seems worthwhile. You’ll find what truly is.
Sound like the place for you? Then we can’t wait to meet you.

Four Schools, One University
There’s no one path to success here. Penn has four undergraduate schools that each offer unique opportunities, all on one campus. And our students have access to all of them. You’ll choose a school or program to serve as your home base, but you’ll never be limited to just one thing. And if you don’t see the path you want to take here? We’ll help you make one.
