For Sophomores
Freshmen entering the College in the fall of 2006 (Class of 2010) will have a different set of requirements from those of the upperclassmen. Curricular information relevant to students in the Class of 2009 and earlier will be shown on web pages with a grey background. If you have any questions about your requirements or any other aspect of a curriculum, be sure to meet with a College advisor right away.
As you enter Sophomore year, having survived being a freshman and having learned a good deal about Penn and yourself, some special tasks lie before you. This is the year in which you will declare your major, and probably the one in which you will decide whether or not to study abroad. You may be beginning to think more about career exploration and possible internships for next summer. Below we have tried to give you some information that may help you make the most of this year.
