Penn Perspectives

Application due Sunday, October 20 at 11:59pm

CALLING ALL SENIORS! 

All Penn students face a similar struggle: we are surrounded by outstanding courses and professors, yet we only have eight semesters to explore our curiosities and interests amidst our curriculum requirements. While planning for second semester senior year, this struggle is at its peak. There are no opportunities left to learn from Penn’s outstanding faculty… until now!

Penn Perspectives is an opportunity for intellectually curious seniors to hear first-hand from Penn’s world-class professors in a variety of disciplines—many of whom have helped shape the disciplines themselves. This program was envisioned by and will be run by students, for students. The course consists of ten to twelve weekly lectures throughout the Spring semester, taught by top professors of your choosing. With no more than 2 hours of commitment each week, you can easily fit it into your schedule. 

If you are interested, APPLY NOW! Applications close Sunday, October 20 at 11:59PM. The purpose of the application is not to make the program selective, but rather to ensure that participants are committed to the program’s mission and attendance policy. However, in the event that demand exceeds seating, participants will be selected based on demonstrated interest in their application. We try to accommodate as many students as possible, but logistics unfortunately can be a constraint. Late applications will not be accepted.
