<p>Does Penn really have One university policy?
I cant find anything about one university policy on Penn website.</p>

2

<p>They don’t use the phrase “One University” policy but it’s there.</p>

<p>Yeah. You can take courses from any school (undergrad or grad) at penn if you want. Some have restrictions like mgmt 100, or high demand courses, but for the most part, if I wanted to take courses in law, i could. it is there to stimulate intellectual curiosity</p>

<p>^ wow does that mean even if I am a College of Arts & Science student, I can take nursing, wharton, and engineering classes?</p>

5

<p>Yes, you can.</p>

6

<p>It was first coined by Penn in the 1970s:</p>

<p>and even had its own logo:</p>

<p>And it’s still used in discussions of Penn today:</p>

<p>They use the phrase ALL THE TIME. Every information session I have attended (lots!) they say it. Do not hesitate to use it.</p>

<p>i was told not to because when applying to one of the four colleges you want to sound a hundred percent sold into that program. talking about all the other classes you want to take from other buildings makes you seem unsure.</p>

<p>i don’t think you want to sound 100% sold into the program; plenty of people change majors and career focuses while at penn (that’s kind of the point) - rather, emphasize the interests you have and how the rich breadth of the university can serve you as you refine your pursuits</p>
