PhD Student Handbook

Exchange Program

The Exchange Scholar Program allows Penn doctoral students to apply to study for a term or academic year at one of ten other participating institutions: UC Berkeley, Brown, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale. Through cooperative arrangements with Bryn Mawr College University of Pennsylvania students may, upon presentation of the proper credentials and with the permission of the instructor concerned, enroll for up to the equivalent of three course units in these institutions.

Students wishing to take courses in universities not affiliated with the Exchange Scholar Program or other cooperative agreements can do so if they fulfill all the requirements listed above in COURSES TAKEN OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA and pay for these courses at their own expense.
