Welcome Prospective Students!
Thank you for your interest in VIPER. There are many ways to learn more about the program, connect with current students, and hear from alumni — and this is the perfect place to start!
Attend an Information Session
VIPER hosts monthly virtual information sessions to provide an overview of the program and a chance to engage with current VIPER students. During these sessions, students share their experiences in VIPER and at Penn, offering insights into their research, the dual-degree process, and more.
Arrange a 1:1 Meeting with VIPER Leadership
The VIPER Leadership Team (Dr. Michelle Hutchings, Professor Andrew Rappe, and Professor John Vohs) are happy to meet virtually with prospective students! You can reach out to us at contact-viper@sas.upenn.edu to arrange a meeting.
Connect with Current Students
If you are interested in chatting virtually with a current student, feel free to let us know and we can arrange to connect you with a current VIPER student for a Zoom chat.
Meet Our Alumni
VIPER alumni are researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and everything in between, and their stories reflect just how far a VIPER degree can take you.
