Genomics and Computational Biology
Graduate | PHD
The Graduate Group in Genomics and Computational Biology (GCB) is an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, administered by the Biomedical Graduate Studies (BGS) office of the University of Pennsylvania. The program is a cooperative undertaking by the schools of Medicine, Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Applied Science, and Veterinary Medicine, and the Penn-associated Wistar Institute.

Geology
Undergraduate | BA
Geology is a dynamic and rapidly evolving physical science. The theory of plate tectonics gives new meaning and new impetus to areas of investigation such as mineralogy, petrology, volcanology, stratigraphy, economic geology and paleontology. Geology includes subjects as varied as environmental geology, evolutionary biology, solid-state chemistry, oceanography, mineral economics and geochronology. (Field trips are required as integral parts of several courses.)

Geology
Graduate
The graduate program is administered jointly with that of Bryn Mawr College. Students receive degrees from one program or the other, but admission and support decisions are made jointly, students may take courses at both institutions, and faculty members from both institution may serve on graduate-student advisory committees. The Graduate Group offers three areas of research concentration: Environmental Geology, Paleobiology, and Solid-Earth Geology

Germanic Language and Literature
Graduate | AM, PHD
Our program offers a solid grounding in the entire German literary tradition, from the Middle Ages to the present. At the same time, we offer courses in literary theory and vigorously support interdisciplinary study. Our faculty holds secondary appointments in programs such as Comparative Literature, Film, Women's Studies, History, Jewish Studies, Folklore, and Art History.

Germanic Languages and Literatures
Undergraduate | BA
The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Penn combines a commitment to the traditions of Germanistik with a forward-looking perspective on developments in the field. The study of German culture and literature enables students to understand the spirit of Germany, to trace its roots in the past, to comprehend the cross-currents in its thinking, and to experience the contributions of German poets, novelists, and authors. The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures offers language courses in German, Yiddish, Dutch and Swedish, and a wide array of exciting courses in German and in English that deal with German literature and culture in the European context, as well as Yiddish literature both in Yiddish and in English translation. In contrast to many graduate programs in German, we continue to believe in the importance of a solid grounding in the entire German literary tradition, from the Middle Ages to the present, as well as the history of the German language. At the same time, we vigorously support interdisciplinary study (as a quick glance at our diverse graduate group faculty shows) and an awareness of the latest methodological and theoretical movements (for example in film, women's studies, cultural studies, and post-colonial theory).

Global Analysis - Undergraduate
Undergraduate | BS
Wharton Students may extend their understanding of the global economy by selecting a second concentration in Global Analysis. This option may be pursued only as a second concentration.

Government Administration
Graduate | MGA
The objective of the M.G.A. Program is to prepare its students for leadership in government service, non-profit and social service organizations, and organizations closely associated with the public sector. The twelve-course M.G.A. program revolves around four core areas: Finance (budgeting, financial management); Politics (political structure, policy development, governance); Economics (economic analysis); and Management (leadership and evaluation and performance management).

Graduate Group in Parasitology
Graduate | PHD
The primary goal of the Graduate Group in Parasitology is to recruit and train graduate students who are interested in the study of parasites and parasitic disease. The graduate program, originally organized in 1965, is multidisciplinary and brings together faculty members with diverse basic science backgrounds, but who share a common interest in parasite biology. We seek to combine in-depth training in one or more basic science disciplines such as immunology, cell biology, molecular biology or epidemiology, while, at the same time, providing students with a fundamental understanding of parasites and parasitism.

Graduate Medical Education
Graduate
Graduate Medical Education at the University of Pennsylvania and affiliated Hospitals provides training in over 60 ACGME-accredited specialties and subspecialties. We offer a full range of graduate medical training in a region that leads the nation in providing quality health care.

Graduate Studies in Music
Graduate
The Department of Music at the University of Pennsylvania offers A.M. and Ph.D. programs in four fields of study: Musical Composition, History of Music, Theory of Music, and Anthropology of Music.
