THE ONLINE APPLICATION IS NOW CLOSED.
Currently, we plan to offer a full on-campus program in 2023, featuring all 6 courses. However, that may be subject to change due to any emerging public health concerns. Please note that for an on-campus program, students will be living in university dormitories and therefore will be required to be fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19 before arriving to campus.
If you have questions or concerns regarding ESAP, please contact us via email at esap@seas.upenn.edu. Due to staffing shortages, we ask that you refrain from calling our office or leaving voicemail messages. We make every effort to respond to emails in a timely manner.
