Penn undergraduates may submatriculate through select Penn graduate programs, working toward obtaining a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree at the same time.

Penn offers students additional opportunities to begin a graduate program while completing an undergraduate degree. Submatriculation programs exist in the four undergraduate schools and in several of Penn’s graduate schools.

Application for admission is made within the regular deadlines and processes for application to the graduate program of interest, usually during the student’s junior year at Penn. Please note that this route is challenging, but offers an exciting opportunity to get a head start on graduate or professional school for some students.

Policies, options, and procedures for submatriculation vary depending on a student’s undergraduate school:

• College of Arts and Sciences
• School of Engineering and Applied Science
• School of Nursing
• The Wharton School
