Office of Graduate Studies

The University of Pennsylvania’s strategic plan, the Penn Compact, specifically addresses the need to incorporate interdisciplinary study within the curriculum.

Integrating Knowledge:

The most challenging questions and problems of our time cannot be addressed by one discipline or profession. To comprehend our complex world, we must better integrate knowledge from different disciplines and professional perspectives in our research and teaching. Beginning with the recruitment of eminent scholars who will hold joint appointments in two schools and departments, Penn will achieve a truly successful partnership between arts and sciences and our professional schools that will benefit our students, our society, and our world.

The Office of Graduate Studies is but one resource outside the Law School for students to get an overview of the opportunities available on the Penn campus.
