About Fels

The most practical program in public management in the Ivy League.

At Penn's Fels Institute of Government, we're proud to educate students who have a commitment to public service so that they are better prepared to lead public and nonprofit organizations to results. Whether you're a Penn undergraduate seeking to experience the public sector for the first time, a young professional seeking an advanced degree, or a mid-career professional looking to advance your career, you can find a home here at Fels.

We also practice what we teach via our Research and Consulting Group, which partners with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, civic groups and other Penn departments to bring the academic resources of the University to bear on the challenges and opportunities facing the public sector.
