About the University of Pennsylvania

For anyone who has ever lived in Philadelphia, the University City district is well known. With several colleges and universities all within walking distance, a large portion of the city’s population is made up of students. Philadelphia has a great deal to offer a young, aspiring scholar, and the University of Pennsylvania is no exception. Its beautifully landscaped grounds, historic buildings, and extraordinary education is known far and wide. Plus, being in such a historical city, with the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall right down the street (not to mention the cheesesteaks), this city has it all.

UPENN Online

Don’t live near Philadelphia? Yearn to attend but can’t relocate? Or better yet, you live in the general area and rely on public transportation to get to class on time (for those of you who live or work in the outlying counties, you know what I’m talking about). If you need to expand your knowledge and want to do it in an Ivy League School, now you can.

UPENN Online is offering several programs. They include the following:

  • Penn Advance – Penn Advance is offering two courses online for Fall 2008: Academic Writing and Research Design in the Arts and Sciences, and Forensic Anthropology. Both require live lecture attendance two nights/week.
  • Online Continuing Dental Education – Offered through the School of Dental Medicine for dental hygienists and dentists. Discounts on tuition may be available.
  • Online Continuing Medical Education – Offering a variety of online CME Courses on various topics
  • Online Continuing Nursing Education - The School of Nursing’s Center for Professional Development offers online courses on medical topics
  • English Language Programs Online Courses – Designed to teach and improve proper English written communication skills.

Although as of the date of this blog entry, this list of online programs is limited, UPENN Online is still in the trial phase of adding online courses to their curriculum. However, any course that is offered currently is guaranteed to inform and educate at the same level of all Penn University Courses!
