    Academic Foundations

    About

    The goals of the Academic Foundations Certificate program are to provide CE faculty participants with the core competencies required to be successful academicians while balancing competing demands. This will occur through opportunities to develop skills (particularly focused on scholarship), create strategic career plans, foster mentoring relationships, and to strive for attitudinal orientation toward resilience and self-care within the context of advanced approaches to time-management.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Our admission decisions are made prior to the announcement of results for many national examinations (such as the A Levels or French Baccalaureate), but applicants are expected to be enrolled in programs that prepare them for these examinations. If you are enrolled in a program that will not release external examination results prior to our application deadlines, you must request that your school send us predictions of external examination results along with your grades.

    Where national examinations are required for admission to a pre-university program (such as the IGCSE or the SPM), you should have received high marks on these examinations and should present certified copies of the results with your Penn application.

    Students in our diverse global community have a wide range of passions, perspectives, and talents. Beyond academics, we would like to learn about your non-scholarly interests, extracurricular activities, and community service (though we recognize that patterns for non-academic involvement vary from country to country).
