About Penn

Home to Wharton and GSE, the University of Pennsylvania is the oldest university in the United States, a member of the Ivy League, and one of the world's finest institutions of higher learning. The university consistently ranks among the top ten in the nation in the US News & World Report survey, while Wharton and GSE are rated as among the leading schools in their respective fields.

Penn's rich tradition of scholarship and its eminent faculty, as well as the school's vast libraries, laboratories, and other academic resources, attract students of diverse interest and backgrounds from all over the nation and across the globe. Its 12 graduate and professional schools are located on Penn's 262-acre campus in West Philadelphia. Their proximity makes it easier for students to take courses in more than one of the university's colleges. The Penn Compact is a commitment to interdisciplinary education. Since workplace learning officers must be able to deliver training for a wide range of enterprises, the breadth and caliber of education at Penn are particularly rich resources for Wharton/GSE students, as are the career counseling facilities and networking opportunities that the university provides.
