Thank you for your interest in the Graduate Division of the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. Our on-line application system is currently unavailable.

Welcome to the Graduate Division of Penn's School of Arts and Sciences.

The Graduate Division consists of some 33 graduate programs, including eight that were ranked in the top ten in the most recent survey by the National Research Council. Disciplinary strength is at the heart of Penn's excellence in research and graduate training. Equally important, however, is the spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration that pervades all of our programs.

Please use this site to answer whatever questions you have about graduate study at Penn. In addition to basic information about graduate study in general, you will find links to the directors of individual graduate groups, who will be best able to answer your questions about particular programs of study. Feel free as well to contact the graduate division office, where members of the staff and I will be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
