學(xué)校簡介:
賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)(University of Pennsylvania,縮寫UPenn)成立于1740年,是美國著名學(xué)者本杰明·富蘭克林創(chuàng)立的一所中等大小的私立綜合性全國大學(xué)。該校位于賓夕法尼亞州最大的城市費(fèi)城。費(fèi)城是美國獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)起草獨(dú)立宣言和聯(lián)邦憲法的地方,所以賓夕法尼亞州也被稱為“美國的搖籃”。賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)是美國著名的常春藤八大之一,亦是9所美國早期殖民學(xué)院之一。
學(xué)校聲譽(yù)
賓大是多學(xué)科模式創(chuàng)建的領(lǐng)軍大學(xué),很多學(xué)院都是由其首創(chuàng),如:北美第一所醫(yī)學(xué)院(Perelman School of Medicine, 1765)、第一所大學(xué)內(nèi)開設(shè)的商學(xué)院(Wharton, 1881)、第一個(gè)學(xué)生會(huì)組織(Houston Hall, 1896)都誕生于賓大。
賓大享譽(yù)盛名的學(xué)院有:醫(yī)學(xué)院、牙醫(yī)學(xué)院、設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)院、商學(xué)院、法學(xué)院、通訊學(xué)院、護(hù)理學(xué)院、獸醫(yī)學(xué)院。
賓大是全美以及世界上數(shù)一數(shù)二的研究型大學(xué),因此,在很多方面都做出了突出貢獻(xiàn):如科學(xué)與人類學(xué):第一代通用電子計(jì)算機(jī)(ENIAC)、風(fēng)疹與乙肝疫苗的發(fā)明、Retin-A、認(rèn)知療法等。
