Profile

The University of Pennsylvania is a private research university in Philadelphia, PA. Founded in 1740 by Benjamin Franklin, Penn was designed to emphasize practical education and service. In 1881, it launched Wharton, the nation’s first collegiate business school, which offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. More so than at the seven other schools in the Ivy League, at Penn, pre-professional degrees share center stage with the liberal arts through its nursing and engineering schools, in addition to Wharton.
