Philadelphia University is a leading-edge, private university on a beautiful, 100-acre, park-like campus just minutes from Center City Philadelphia.

We have a unique interdisciplinary academic approach and more than 40 professional undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

Philadelphia University is a successful new model in higher education. We are an accredited, private, coed university offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in over 40 areas of study - all within a framework of career development.

Our unique curriculum blends liberal and professional studies in a way that enables our students to grow as individuals and as highly skilled designers, business leaders, architects, health care professionals and scientists.

Since the late 19th century, we've been preparing professionals for a constantly changing economy. Back then, in the late 1890s, our graduates excelled in textile engineering, design, materials management and manufacturing. Today, Philadelphia U's alumni are global leaders in architecture, fashion, design, business, health professions, textiles, materials technology and science.

Our dedicated and talented faculty are here at Philadelphia U because they care about the University's dual mission: professional development in an academically diverse and integrated environment coupled with the arts and sciences. Members of our faculty are instructors, practitioners and researchers.
