Penn Announces New Minor in Solid Core

Solid Core is the pilates phenomenon that has gripped Penn's campus. Well, certain parts of Penn's campus - the sorority houses of SDT, Tri-Delt, & Theta, The Chesnut & Domus apartment buildings, Beige Block, Lower Quad, and the cool parts of KCECH. 

To capitalize on this demand, the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts and Sciences announced earlier this week that it would begin offering a minor in Solid Core, developed in collaboration with the Politics, Philosophy, and Economics and Consumer Psychology programs. The minors' inaugural class would matriculate in Fall 2027, with students taking courses such as "This Place is Hell on Earth, Right: The Downfall of Soul Cycle," "How to Rob an Alo Store," and "Negotiations: Yes, You Can Use a Higher Resistance."

“I spend so much time at Solid Core. I'm just glad I can finally get credit for all my hard work!” commented Leah Greenberg (C ‘28). Her roommate, Sara Goldstein (W'28), shared: “I really appreciate the flexibility of the minor; you can easily transfer your credits... from studios in Montauk, Bridgehampton, the Upper East Side, and even a few in Westchester County."

At press time, University officials declared that they were "excited" about this. University president J. Larry Jameson posited: "My straight daughter and gay son are super happy. So, I guess, let's have a Brat Summer, everyone."
