Remarkable progress has occurred in neuroscience and behavioral research in recent years, along with improved methods for treating and preventing mental health disorders. However, mental health concerns continue to be underestimated, mismanaged, and inadequately addressed, often clouded by stigma and misunderstanding. Treatment accessibility varies widely among different groups, while a severe shortage of qualified mental health practitioners restricts patients' access to essential care. Compounding this issue is the limited diversity among healthcare providers, which can hinder understanding of cultural obstacles to treatment. This is a challenge we are actively working to overcome.

A strong command of the English language is necessary for successful study at Penn. Applicants whose families do not speak English at home, or applicants who have not attended a high school or secondary school where the primary language of instruction is English, are asked to take the TOEFL, the Test of English as a Foreign Language, administered by the Educational Testing Service. In the event the TOEFL is not readily accessible, Penn will accept results from the IELTS, the International English Language Testing System.
