University of Pennsylvania Summer Academies

These intensive non-credit academies encourage students to dive deep into exploratory research in a specific subject area across the sciences, arts and humanities, such as biomedical research, chemistry, neuroscience, social justice, experimental physics, and global culture and media. Academies are subject-intensive programs that fuse sophisticated scientific or social theory with relevant applications. The science academies draw upon Penn's cutting-edge technology and resources to provide innovative lab experiences while the humanities academies draw upon the rich history of Philadelphia to provide a sociologically comprehensive summer experience.
