Vagelos Scholars Program in the Molecular Life Sciences

The Roy and Diana Vagelos Scholars Program in the Molecular Life Sciences offers Penn's most motivated young scientists an opportunity to begin intensive course work and research in their first year. Vagelos Scholars major in chemistry or biochemistry and complete a second major in any other natural science, with the option of earning a concurrent master's degree. The program requires and funds summer research.

Students, especially those with more than three units of A.P. credit in math, physics and/or chemistry, should email biochemistry@sas.upenn.edu or call the Biochemistry Program office at 215.898.4771. Students enter the program in their first semester.
