Give your son or daughter the advantage of Penn.

Imagine your child at an Ivy League school where admissions are among the most selective in the country. Where opportunities abound for nursing researchers, hospital managers, public policy makers, and patient caregivers. Where your son or daughter could graduate with a joint degree in Healthcare Management from Wharton. Or submatriculate into Penn Law. Or work on federal research grants with their faculty mentors. Imagine your daughter earning clinical hours not just by working in some of the best hospitals in the country, but by studying overseas, supporting safe birth in a Honduran village or soothing sick children in a Jerusalem pediatric ward. Imagine your son learning from professors who are conducting the research that is being cited across the country – in nursing textbooks, in major newspapers, in healthcare bills being introduced in Congress.

Penn Nursing students are highly sought after graduates who go on to assume leadership positions around the world. It’s the best advantage you could possibly give.
