GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

ABOUT
The Graduate Certificate in Experimental Ethnography is aimed at students who want to merge creative and interdisciplinary practice through multi-modal methods with their scholarly production. The certificate is open to Penn students admitted and already enrolled in a terminal degree graduate program in SAS, GSE, Annenberg, SP2, Law, MPH/PennMed, Wharton and Design. Application for the certificate should be made in first or second year (contact us for other situations). 

The purpose of the program is to prepare students to use multi-modal methods in independent social scientific research and professional and creative practice, to interrogate how  scholars might expand the ways we learn and create; to explore how to communicate scholarship more diversely; and to use what is learned to transform communities.
