University Minors
In addition to minors completed within one school, several interdisciplinary minors combine coursework from Penn’s four undergraduate schools. From urban education to nutrition to American public policy, the options vary.
Interdisciplinary
Interdisciplinary opportunities at Penn allow students to express their academic creativity and discover new ways of synthesizing information.
Dual Degree
Students thrive while pursuing more than one Penn degree, finding leadership opportunities and connections as they develop their unique academic journeys. A student pursuing a dual degree will receive two bachelor’s degrees simultaneously, from two separate schools of the University. A student does not have to choose to participate prior to matriculation.
