Mission  
School mission: Philadelphia University, founded in 1884, offers a unique blend of professional and liberal studies on a 100-acre, park-like campus minutes from a vibrant city. Learning here is hands-on -- with a curriculum that melds theory with practice, leading to careers in architecture, business, design, health, science, engineering and textiles. With a low student-faculty ratio, internships, study abroad integrated into all programs, and the opportunity to work directly with expert faculty who are practitioners in their fields, students receive the strongest real-world preparation possible.
