Submatriculation for Penn undergraduates
If you are a current on-campus undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania and know you want to pursue a Master of Environmental Studies degree, you can submatriculate into the program (Note: students in online undergraduate programs are not eligible for submatriculation).
