<p>I was told that UPenn is known for its communications program called the Annenburg school of communications. Whenever I research this program positive search results come out for its graduate program.
Can anyone tell me about the undergraduate communications program at UPenn? Is the school known for this program? What makes this program at UPenn any different from the communications major at a different University?
Please help!</p>
<p>It’s a terrific program–one of the best in the nation. Although the undergraduate Communication major at Penn is pursued through the College of Arts and Sciences, Penn’s undergraduate liberal arts component, it’s actually administered by Penn’s eminent Annenberg School for Communication:</p>

<p>I see! So theoretically, if you apply with a communications degree and get accepted you will be taking your classes at the College of Arts and Sciences however, some of the classes will be administered by the Annenberg School of Communication? </p>
<p>You’d apply to the College of Arts and Sciences, stating an intention to major in Communication (although you wouldn’t be required to pursue that major if were accepted to CAS). If you were accepted and did pursue the major, you’d take most of your courses in the College, but your Communication courses would be in Annenberg and your major would be administered by Annenberg:</p>

<p>Of course, under Penn’s “One University” policy, you also could take courses in most of Penn’s other schools (e.g., Wharton, Nursing, Law, Graduate School of Education, School of Public Policy and Practice, etc.)</p>
