Skills for a Lifetime

Why train to do just one thing when you can prepare yourself to do anything? In the College, students don't just absorb information – the curriculum teaches them to analyze, communicate and transform facts into knowledge and turn knowledge into understanding.

Critical and creative writing, public speaking and quantitative skills provide a foundation for success in any field of endeavor. This is why College graduates establish charter schools, serve in Congress, chair Fortune 100 companies and produce on Broadway.

Regardless of your career after graduation, your Penn experience will influence your daily life no matter where you are — every time you see a film, persuade an audience, read the ingredients on a food container or consider a politician's energy policy. Informed citizens transform society, and Penn's College graduates lead the way.
