By taking courses in a variety of disciplines and incorporating a range of skill sets, you will be prepared to engage in complex thinking and to develop an area of specialization. This combination of depth and breadth of study is the hallmark of Penn's liberal arts education.
As a student and a scholar, it’s your duty to be curious about everything, so nothing should be off-limits.
The General Education component of the Curriculum is comprised of two elements. Foundational Approaches develop key intellectual capabilities demanded in a variety of disciplines, while Sectors of Knowledge allow you to tailor your own education in the arts and sciences while gaining valuable knowledge across a broad range of disciplines
