Academics

Each of us brings something unique to the world, and we celebrate the diversity of how we learn. Our faculty excel in pushing boundaries and pioneering new teaching methods. Our programs do more than just inform—they broaden perspectives, challenge minds, inspire growth, and foster meaningful connections. This is how we unlock the full potential within every individual.


Penn Leadership Core

Our world needs leaders. Leaders with vision and creativity and compassion. Who believe our Quaker values can help shape a better world in a digital age. Leaders who can bridge disciplines, communicate effectively, think critically, and inspire those around them to not just be their best selves, but to want to be their best selves. This is why the Penn Leadership Core—designed to streamline the quality of required courses outside of your major—is so critical to the success of our graduates.
