Cross-Disciplinary in the Classroom

The integration of law and other disciplines pervades Penn Law. We sit shoulder to shoulder with some of the world's greatest medical, professional, and graduate schools. This allows us to draw a faculty that is deeply engaged with other disciplines. And it provides our students ready and convenient access to take courses, certificates, and joint degrees in these complementary fields.

As a student, you have the chance to experience this cross-disciplinary integration in several ways.

• The Penn Law faculty seamlessly incorporate their expertise in other disciplines into their teaching of legal topics.
• We encourage our students to pursue a subject matter of interest to them in an area that is broadly relevant to the study of law. Students can take up to four courses (which count toward the J.D.) at any of the other graduate and professional schools at Penn.
• For those students committed to a particular area, we have a wide array of certificate and joint degree programs for your exploration.
• When space permits, we encourage upper level undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to take classes at the Law School, knowing that many of these students will bring a different perspective to the subject matter.
• We offer classes that are team-taught with faculty from other departments and schools at Penn.
