The University of Pennsylvania (commonly referred to as Penn or UPenn) is a private Ivy League research university located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is one of nine colonial colleges chartered prior to the U.S. Declaration of Independence when Benjamin Franklin, the university's founder and first president, advocated for an educational institution that trained leaders in academia, commerce, and public service. Penn identifies as the fourth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States, though this representation is challenged by other universities. Benjamin Franklin and other Philadelphians established the university in 1749, which would make it the fifth-oldest institution of higher education in the U.S.
The University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia offers a comprehensive and dynamic approach to marketing education. While not housed in a single department, marketing studies are deeply integrated across several highly-regarded schools, providing students with a rich, interdisciplinary experience. The Wharton School serves as the primary center for marketing programs, offering extensive courses and concentrations. Additionally, marketing insights are incorporated into programs within the School of Arts and Sciences and the Annenberg School for Communication, allowing for broader exploration of the field's strategic communication and media aspects. This structure enables students to tailor their studies to align with diverse interests and career goals within the evolving world of marketing.
