University of Pennsylvania
* University of the State of Pennsylvania (1779[note 1]–1791)
Privateresearch university The**University of Pennsylvania**(**Penn**[note 3]or**UPenn**[note 4]) is aprivateIvy Leagueresearch universityinPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It is one of ninecolonial collegesand was chartered prior to theU.S. Declaration of IndependencewhenBenjamin Franklin, the university's founder and first president, advocated for an educational institution that trained leaders in academia, commerce, andpublic service. The university has four undergraduate schools and 12 graduate and professional schools. Schools enrolling undergraduates include theCollege of Arts and Sciences, theSchool of Engineering and Applied Science, theWharton School, and theSchool of Nursing. Among its graduate schools are itslaw school, whose first professorJames Wilsonparticipated in writing the first draft of theU.S. Constitution, and itsmedical school, which was the first medical school established in North America. In 2023, Penn ranked third among U.S. universities inresearch expenditures, according to theNational Science Foundation.[16]Itsendowmentis$22.3 billion, making it thesixth-wealthiest private academic institution in the nationas of 2024. The University of Pennsylvania's main campus is located in theUniversity Cityneighborhood ofWest Philadelphia, and is centered aroundCollege Hall. Notable campus landmarks includeHouston Hall, the first modernstudent union, andFranklin Field, the nation's first dual-levelcollege footballstadium and the nation's longest-standingNCAA Division Icollege football stadium in continuous operation.[17]The university's athletics program, thePenn Quakers, fields varsity teams in 33 sports as a member of NCAA Division I's Ivy League conference. Main article:History of the University of Pennsylvania Much of the current architecture on Penn's campus was designed by thePhiladelphia-based architecture firmCope and Stewardson, whose owners were Philadelphia born and raised architects and Penn professors who also designedPrinceton Universityand a large part ofWashington University in St. Louis.[28][29]They were known for having combined theGothic architectureof theUniversity of OxfordandUniversity of Cambridgewith the local landscape to establish theCollegiate Gothicstyle.[30] The present core campus covers over 299 acres (121 ha) in a contiguous area of West Philadelphia's University City section, and the older heart of the campus comprises theUniversity of Pennsylvania Campus Historic District. All of Penn's schools and most of its research institutes are located on this campus. The surrounding neighborhood includes several restaurants, bars, a large upscale grocery store, and a movie theater on the western edge of campus. Penn's core campus bordersDrexel Universityand is a few blocks from the University City campus ofSaint Joseph's University, which absorbedUniversity of the Sciencesin Philadelphia in a merger, andThe Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College. Wistar Institute, a cancer research center, is also located on campus. In 2014, a new seven-story glass and steel building was completed next to the institute's original brick edifice built in 1897 further expanding collaboration between the university and the Wistar Institute.[33] Penn maintains two arboreta. The first, the roughly 300-acre (120 ha) Penn Campus Arboretum at the University of Pennsylvania, encompasses the entireUniversity Citymain campus. The campus arboretum is an urban forest with over 6,500 trees representing 240 species of trees and shrubs, ten specialty gardens and five urban parks,[36]which has been designated as a Tree Campus USA[37]since 2009 and formally recognized as an accredited ArbNet Arboretum since 2017.[36]Penn maintains an interactive website linked to Penn's comprehensive tree inventory, which allows users to explore Penn's entire collection of trees.[38]The 92-acre second arboretumMorris Arboretumis the official arboretum of theCommonwealth of Pennsylvaniaand includes more than 13,000 labelled plants of 2,500 types, representing the temperate floras ofNorth America,Asia, andEurope, with a primary focus on Asia.[39] Penn also owns the 687-acre (278 ha)New Bolton Center, the research and large-animal health care center of its veterinary school.[40]Located nearKennett Square, New Bolton Center received nationwide media attention whenKentucky DerbywinnerBarbarounderwent surgery at its Widener Hospital for injuries suffered while running in thePreakness Stakes.[41] The university has 15 libraries.Van Pelt Libraryon the Penn campus is the university's main library. The other 14 are: The _Statue of Benjamin Franklin_ , honoring the university's founder, in front ofCollege Hallon Penn's main campus[62] The university's first purpose-built dormitory in the foreground (on right), built in 1765[79] See also:List of presidents of the University of Pennsylvania University of Pennsylvania graduate and professional schools[82] TheCollege of Arts and Sciencesis the undergraduate division of theSchool of Arts and Sciences. The School of Arts and Sciences also contains theGraduate Divisionand theCollege of Liberal and Professional Studies, which is home to theFels Institute of Government, the master's programs in Organizational Dynamics, and the Environmental Studies (MES) program.Wharton Schoolis the business school of the University of Pennsylvania. Other schools with undergraduate programs include theSchool of Nursingand theSchool of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS). The University of Pennsylvania Police Department (UPPD) is the largest private police department in Pennsylvania, with 117 members. All officers are sworn municipal police officers and retain general law enforcement authority while on the campus.[91] The officialsealof the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania serves as the signature and symbol of authenticity on documents issued by the corporation.[92]The most recent design, a modified version of the original seal, was approved in 1932, adopted a year later and is still used for much of the same purposes as the original.[92]The officialsealof the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania serves as the signature and symbol of authenticity on documents issued by the corporation.[92]A request for one was first recorded in a meeting of the trustees in 1753 during which some of the Trustees ""desired to get a Common Seal engraved for the Use of [the] Corporation."" In 1756, a public seal and motto for the college was engraved in silver.[93] The outer ring of the current seal is inscribed with ""Universitas Pennsylvaniensis,"" the Latin name of the University of Pennsylvania. The inside contains seven stacked books on a desk with the titles of subjects of thetriviumand a modifiedquadrivium, components of a classical education: Theolog[ia], Astronom[ia], Philosoph[ia], Mathemat[ica], Logica, Rhetorica and Grammatica. Between the books and the outer ring is the Latin motto of the university, ""Leges Sine Moribus Vanae.""[92] Updated seal of the University of Pennsylvania with present name of school in Latin Penn's ""One University Policy"" allows students to enroll in classes in any of Penn's twelve schools.[94] * SAT and ACT ranges are from the 25th to the 75th percentile. Undergraduate admissions to the University of Pennsylvania is considered by to be ""most selective."" Admissions officials consider a student'sGPAto be a very important academic factor, with emphasis on an applicant's high school class rank and letters of recommendation.[99]Admission isneed-blindfor U.S., Canadian, and Mexican applicants.[100] For the class of 2026, entering in Fall 2022, the university received 54,588 applications.[101]also ranked Penn among the 10 most selective schools in the country. At the graduate level, based on admission statistics from _U.S. News & World Report_, Penn's most selective programs include its law school, the health care schools (medicine, dental medicine, nursing, veterinary), the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the Wharton School. Penn offers unique and specializedcoordinated dual-degree(CDD) programs, which selectively award candidates degrees from multiple schools at the university upon completion of graduation criteria of both schools in addition to program-specific programs and senior capstone projects. Additionally, there are accelerated and interdisciplinary programs offered by the university. These undergraduate programs include: Dual-degree programs that lead to the same multiple degrees without participation in the specific above programs are also available. Unlike CDD programs, ""dual degree"" students fulfill requirements of both programs independently without the involvement of another program. Specialized dual-degree programs include Liberal Studies and Technology as well as an Artificial Intelligence: Computer and Cognitive Science Program. Both programs award a degree from the College of Arts and Sciences and a degree from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Also, the Vagelos Scholars Program in Molecular Life Sciences allows its students to either double major in the sciences or submatriculate and earn both a BA and an MS in four years. The most recent Vagelos Integrated Program in Energy Research (VIPER) was first offered for the class of 2016. A joint program of Penn's School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Science, VIPER leads to dual Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Engineering degrees by combining majors from each school. Originally named the School of Social Work, SP2 was founded in 1908 and is a graduate school of the University of Pennsylvania. The school specializes in research, education, and policy development in relation to both social and economic issues.[117][118] In 2018, the university's nursing school was ranked number one byQuacquarelli Symonds.[120]That year, Quacquarelli Symonds also ranked Penn's school of Veterinary Medicine sixth.[121]In 2019, the Perelman School of Medicine was named the third-best medical school for research in _U.S. News & World Report's_2020 ranking.[122] TheUniversity of Pennsylvania Health System, also known as UPHS, is a multi-hospitalhealth systemheadquartered inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, owned by Trustees of University of Pennsylvania. UPHS and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania together constitute Penn Medicine, a clinical and research entity of the University of Pennsylvania. UPHS hospitals include theHospital of the University of Pennsylvania,[123]Penn Presbyterian Medical Center,Pennsylvania Hospital, Chester County Hospital, Lancaster General Hospital, and Princeton Medical Center.[124]Penn Medicine owns and operates the first hospital in the United States, thePennsylvania Hospital.[125]It is also home to America's first surgical amphitheatre[126]and its first medical library.[127] Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Students can study abroad for a semester or a year at partner institutions, which include theSingapore Management University,London School of Economics,University of Edinburgh,Chinese University of Hong Kong,University of Melbourne,Sciences Po,University of Queensland,University College London,King's College London,Hebrew University of Jerusalem, andETH Zurich. _U.S. News& World Report_'s 2024 rankings place Penn 6th of 394 national universities in the United States.[129]The Princeton Reviewstudent survey ranked Penn in 2023 as 7th in their Dream Colleges list.[136]Penn was ranked 4th of 444 in the United States by College Factual for 2024.[137]In 2023, Penn was ranked as having the 7th happiest students in the United States (the highest in the Ivy League).[138][139]Wall Street Journalreported in 2024 that Penn's undergraduate alumni earned the 5th highest salaries (taking into account the cost of education and other factors[140]), which was 2nd in Ivy League behind Princeton.[141] Penn isclassifiedas an ""R1"" doctoral university: ""Highest research activity.""[146]Its economic impact on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 2015 amounted to$14.3 billion.[147]Penn had research expenditures totaling over$1.9 billionin 2023, raking third among U.S. universities inresearch and development spending, according to theNational Science Foundation.[16]In fiscal year 2019 Penn received$582.3 millionin funding from theNational Institutes of Health.[148] Penn's research tradition has historically been complemented by innovations that shaped higher education. In addition to establishing the first medical school, the first university teaching hospital, the oldest continuously operating degree-granting program inchemical engineering,[159]the first business school, and the first student union, Penn was also the cradle of other significant developments. Several major scientific discoveries have also taken place at Penn. The university is probably best known as the place where the first general-purpose electronic computer (ENIAC) was born in 1946 at theMoore School of Electrical Engineering.[167]It was here also where the world's first spelling and grammar checkers were created, as well as the popularCOBOLprogramming language.[167] The university's social pressure surrounding academic perfection, extreme competitiveness, and nonguaranteed readmission have created what is known as ""Penn Face"": students put on a façade of confidence and happiness while enduring mental turmoil.[181][182][183][184][185]Stanford University calls this phenomenon ""Duck Syndrome.""[184][186]In recent years, mental health has become an issue on campus with ten student suicides between the years of 2013 to 2016.[187]The school responded by launching a task force.[188][189]The most widely covered case of Penn Face has been Madison Holleran.[190][191]In 2018, initiatives were enacted to ameliorate mental health problems, such as requiring sophomores to live on campus and the daily closing of Huntsman Hall at 2:00 a.m.[192][193]The university's suicide rate was the catalyst for a 2018 state bill, introduced by GovernorTom Wolf, to raise Pennsylvania's standards for university suicide prevention.[194]The university's efforts to address mental health on campus came into the national spotlight again in September 2019 when the director of the university's counseling services died by suicide six months after starting the position.[195] _The Daily Pennsylvanian_ is an independent, student-run newspaper, which has been published daily since it was founded in 1885.[197]The newspaper went unpublished from May 1943 to November 1945 due toWorld War II.[197]In 1984, the university lost all editorial and financial control of _The Daily Pennsylvanian_(also known as _The DP_) when the newspaper became its own corporation.[197]_The Daily Pennsylvanian_ has won thePacemaker Awardadministered by theAssociated Collegiate Pressmultiple times, most recently in 2019.[198][199]The _DP_ also publishes a weekly arts and culture magazine called .

Main article:The University of Pennsylvania Band The University of Pennsylvania Bandat the 2019 homecoming game The University of Pennsylvania Bandhas been a part of student life since 1897.[210]The Penn Band presently mainly performs at football and basketball games as well as university functions (e.g.commencementandconvocation). It was the first college band to perform atMacy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and has performed with notable musicians, includingJohn Philip Sousa, members of thePhiladelphia Orchestra, and theU.S. Marine Band(""The President's Own""). The A Cappella Council (ACK) is composed of 14 a cappella groups. Penn's a cappella groups entertain audiences with repertoires including pop, rock, R&B;, jazz, Hindi, and Chinese songs.[211]ACK is also home to Off The Beat, which has received the most contemporary a cappella recording awards of any collegiate group in the United States and the most features on the _Best of College A Cappella_ albums.[212]Penn Masala, formed in 1996, is world's oldest[213][214]and premier[215][216]South Asiana cappella group based in an American university, which has performed forBarack Obama,Joe Biden,Henry Kissinger,Ban Ki-moon,Farooq Abdullah,Imran Khan,Rajkumar Hirani,A.R. Rahman,Narendra Modi[217]andSunidhi Chauhan, had their a cappella version ofNazia Hassan'sUrduclassic ""Aap Jaisa Koi,"" (originally from the movie ) sung in the movieAmerican Desi.[218] The University of Pennsylvania's first baseball team was fielded in 1875. Penn has won four championships in theEastern Intercollegiate Baseball League, a baseball-only conference that existed from 1930 to 1992, which consisted of the eightIvy Leagueschools andArmyandNavy.[263] The first University of Pennsylvania cricket team, reported to be the first cricket team in the United States composed exclusively of Americans,[268]was organized in 1842.[268] In the 1890s, Penn's cricket team frequently toured Canada and the British Isles.[259]Perhaps the university's most famous cricket player wasGeorge Patterson(class of 1888), who still holds the North American batting record and who went on to play for the professionalPhiladelphia Cricket Team.[272] University of PennsylvaniaCurlingClub qualified for the 2023 National Championship at 6th place, the same ranking they qualified for the 2022 National Championship (where they finished in 2nd place), but in 2023 the team won the national championship by defeating arch rivalPrinceton Universityin the championship match (6 to 3).[275][276]Penn Curling also won the National Championship in 2016 and is the only East Coast team to have won the Curling National Championship.[277] University of Pennsylvania Hockey team in front of photo of College Hall in 1896–97, its first season of existence, featuringGeorge Orton, future winner of gold medal in the1900 Summer Olympicsin 2500 meter steeplechase (top row, second from the end of the right side) and who was the first disabled person to compete in the Olympics The University of Pennsylvania men's track team was the 1907IC4Apoint winner.

The university currently hosts both heavyweight and lightweight men's teams and an open weight women's team, all of which compete as part of theEastern SprintsLeague.Ellis Wardwas Penn's first intercollegiate crew coach from 1879 through 1912.[288]During the course of Ward's coaching career at Penn his ."".. Red and Blue crews won 65 races, in about 150 starts.""[289]Ward coached Penn's 8-oared boat to the finals of theGrand Challenge Cup(the oldest and most prized trophy) at theHenley Royal Regatta(but in that final race was defeated by the championLeander Club).[290] Joe Burk(class of 1935) was captain of Penn crew team, winner of the Henley Diamond Sculls twice, named recipient of theJames E. Sullivan Awardfor nation's best amateur athlete in 1939, and Penn coach from 1950 to 1969. The 1955 Men's Heavyweight 8, coached byJoe Burk, became one of only four American university crews in history to win theGrand Challenge Cupat theHenley Royal Regatta. The outbreak ofWorld War Twocanceled the 1940 Olympics for which Burk was favored to win the gold medal. Such is the devotion to English rugby football on the part of University of Pennsylvania's students from New Zealand, Australia, and England that they meet onFranklin Fieldat 7 o'clock every morning and practice the game. The varsity track and football squads monopolize the field to such an extent that the early hours of the morning are the only ones during which the rugby enthusiasts can play. Any time except Friday, Saturday and Sunday, a squad of 25 men may be seen running through the hardest kind of practice after which they may divide into two teams and play a hard game. Once a week, captain CC Walton, ('11), dental, who hails from New Zealand, gives the enthusiastic players a blackboard talk in which he explains the intricacies of the game in detail.[308] In spring of 1984, Penn women's rugby,[311][312]led by Social Chair Tamara Wayland (College class of 1985,[313]who subsequently became the women's representative to and vice president ofUSA RugbySouth from 1996 to 1998); club president Marianne Seligson; andPenn LawstudentGigi Sohn,[314]began to compete. Penn women's rugby team is coached, as of 2020, by (a) Adam Dick,[315]a 300-level certified coach with over 15 years of rugby coaching experience including being the first coach of the first women's rugby team at theUniversity of Arizonaand who was a four-year starter at University of Arizona men's first XV rugby team and (b) Philly women's player Kate Hallinan.

The ideas and intellectual inspiration for the academic institution stem from 1749, with a pamphlet published byBenjamin Franklin(1705/1706–1790). When Franklin's institution was established, it inhabited a schoolhouse built on November 14, 1740, for another school, which never came to practical fruition.[5]Penn archivist Mark Frazier Lloyd noted, ""In 1899, UPenn's Trustees adopted a resolution that established 1740 as the founding date, but good cases may be made for 1749, when Franklin first convened the Trustees, or 1751, when the first classes were taught at the affiliated secondary school for boys, Academy of Philadelphia, or 1755, when Penn obtained its collegiate charter to add a post-secondary institution, the College of Philadelphia.""[6]Princeton's library presents another diplomatically-phrased view.[7]
