Online Seminars fuse sophisticated scientific or social theory with relevant applications. These interdisciplinary programs integrate advanced theoretical concepts with real-world scenarios. Seminars are led by University of Pennsylvania faculty and long-standing professionals in their field of study.
Students must participate and engage with both synchronous and asynchronous content to receive their certificate of completion.
At minimum, students must use a computer with at least 8GB of RAM (most computers built within the last five years should have this) and an internet speed of 1.5 Mbps download and 750 Kbps upload. We recommend that all operating systems, browsers, and other software be up to date before the start of each online class. Please note that your instructor may have additional computer requirements.
