School Introduction
University of Pennsylvania
The University of Pennsylvania, commonly known as Penn or UPenn, is a private research university located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is one of the Ivy League schools and one of the 14 founding members of the Association of American Universities (AAU). Penn is a pioneer of the multidisciplinary education model in the United States, with diverse academic programs including medicine and engineering, business and international relations. The university allows undergraduate students to take courses across all the academic departments and schools, fostering interdisciplinary learning and broad-based education.
Penn was the first university in North America to establish a medical school, the first to offer an undergraduate business program, and the first to have a student union building. It offers a wide range of academic courses, research centers, and public service programs. The medical school, dental school, design school, Wharton School of Business, law school, engineering school, communications school, nursing school, and veterinary school are all world-renowned for their quality. The undergraduate admissions process is one of the most selective in the U.S., with an acceptance rate of only 9%.
The university's athletic teams are known as the "Quakers," also known as "The Red & Blue," referring to the university's colors. The football team is one of the most successful teams in the league, having contributed many innovative plays and strategies since the late 1800s.
Notable alumni of Penn include former U.S. President William Henry Harrison, current Harvard University President, current University of California President Mark Yudof, poet Ezra Pound, actress Candice Bergen, and investor Warren Buffett, who studied at the Wharton School of Business.
