UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
The Center for Undergraduate Research & Fellowships (CURF) coordinates undergraduate research on behalf of the University, including opportunities to work with Penn faculty recipients of University Research Foundation and Provost Interdisciplinary Seminar Fund awards.
GRADUATE STUDENTS
Graduate programs at Penn emphasize the integration of knowledge across boundaries and disciplines. Upon acceptance into one of Penn’s 50 interdisciplinary “graduate groups”, the student completes research-intensive coursework and independent study under the supervision of several faculty; from this process, the student identifies a research mentor and undertakes intensive research on a specific interest that culminates in publication of the dissertation — an original piece of scholarship that represents a unique contribution to that field of knowledge.
