Annenberg在设计上是跨学科的。该学院的成员和学生来自广泛的背景，包括传播，心理学，政治学，社会学，人类学，历史和法律。还鼓励学生补充通过Penn’的其他11所杰出学校之一提供的交流课程。结果是充满活力的智力体验，训练学生将各种理论和方法应用于并适应二十一世纪的前沿传播问题。所有博士生都获得了长达五年的全额资助，包括学杂费，医疗保健，教学和研究奖学金以及论文研究奖学金。所有学生还将获得年度研究和旅行基金，使他们能够开展研究并在主要的国家和国际会议上进行介绍。除了正规课程，学生还可以与教职员工一起
Annenberg is interdisciplinary by design. Members of the faculty and students come from a wide range of backgrounds, including Communication, Psychology, Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, History, and Law. Students are also encouraged to supplement their Communication courses with those offered through one of Penn's 11 other distinguished schools. The result is a vibrant intellectual experience that trains students to apply and adapt diverse theories and methods to the cutting-edge communication issues of the twenty-first century. All doctoral students are fully funded for up to five years, including tuition and fees, health care, teaching and research fellowships, and dissertation research fellowships. All students also receive yearly research and travel funds, allowing them to develop their research and present it at major national and international conferences. In addition to formal classes, students are able to work with faculty on grant- and center-supported projects, attend and participate in frequent colloquia and workshops, and engage in research and learning opportunities around the globe -- all designed to enhance their intellectual growth and professional training.<br><br>Communication neuroscience looks at how activity in the brain is linked to behaviors at the individual, group, and population level. Using fMRI and other imaging techniques, Annenberg researchers investigate how our neural responses to stimuli relate to attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, receptivity to messaging, and the structure of our social networks.
