International Applicants

Penn welcomes applications from students around the world, and we celebrate the unique perspectives that each international student brings to our vibrant community. In fact, over 100 countries are represented in our undergraduate population and about 1 in 5 of our Quakers have home addresses outside of the U.S.   

Here, you’ll have the opportunity to learn with professors who are leaders in their fields, forge meaningful connections with students who share a passion for learning, and receive the support you need to thrive at Penn as an international student.   

Our International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) is dedicated to supporting our international students from figuring out immigration, to settling in on campus, to finding work after graduation.   

Penn’s campus is nestled in the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—or as any true Philadelphian affectionately calls it—Philly. Explore the nation’s first capital—a city with growing global communities and historical impact.
