Strength of liberal arts at Penn?

Colleges & Universities University of Pennsylvania
7

<p>45, thanks for the correction. Penn and Duke are tied in the study at #7.</p>

<p>Re Penn’s top departments, I would add the following:</p>

<p>History, especially American history
English, especially African American Literature and Creative Writing
Religious Studies
Music
Economics, where Penn has been ranked in the top 6-8 for decades
Anthropology, perhaps only tied with UChicago</p>

<p>I do think Penn is relatively weak in PoliSci and in Philosophy. Leaders there are Yale, Princeton and Columbia among the Ivies.</p>

<p>I would also offer up great strengths at Penn in Area Studies, particularly South Asian Studies, African Studies and East Asia (this includes history, languages, and economics in these respective geographies)</p>
