Master’s Online Information Sessions

We will also discuss dual degree options in conjunction with other schools at Penn, part-time study options for working professionals, and financial aid information. SP2 Admissions and program staff will be on-hand to answer all of your questions about studying at SP2, becoming part of the Penn community, and working for social justice in and beyond Philadelphia.
