Bachelor in Logic, Information, and Computation

The Logic, Information, and Computation Program offers students the opportunity to engage in a systematic, integrative study within the School of Arts and Sciences. The logic remains one of the core disciplines in investigations of information and computation. Indeed, logic plays a major role in advances in computer security, database technology, networking, and software engineering. Moreover, logic has expanded its role within mathematics beyond foundational studies and now enjoys rich connections with diverse areas as algebra, analysis, and combinatorics. In light of the current importance of the investigation of computation and information from a scientific, as well as from a technological point of view, the Major and Minor in Logic, Information, and Computation will provide students with a strong background to pursue computational aspects of the natural, biological, and social sciences, as well as preparing them for careers in information technology.

The University of Pennsylvania School of Arts and Sciences forms the scholarly excellence foundation that has established Penn as one of the world's leading research universities. We teach students across all 12 Penn schools, and our academic departments span the reach from anthropology and biology to sociology and South Asian studies.

Members of the Penn Arts & Sciences faculty are leaders in creating new knowledge in their disciplines and are engaged in nearly every interdisciplinary innovation area. They are regularly recognized with academia's highest honors, including membership in prestigious societies like the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society, as well as significant prizes such as MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellowships.
