At Philadelphia University, we believe that education is a lifelong experience. Since the late 19th century, we have been a leader in professional education — helping individuals meet the challenge of achieving their goals. Our innovative programs prepare our students for 21st century careers by giving them the Power to Do.

Our graduates have consistently excelled in textile engineering, design, materials management and manufacturing. Today, Philadelphia University’s alumni are global leaders in design, architecture, fashion, business, engineering, health professions, textiles, materials technology and science.

To prepare such leaders, academic programs are grounded in the arts and sciences within an integrated curriculum and are taught with a hands-on approach by dedicated faculty. Our faculty are teachers, researchers and practitioners who are passionate about the University’s mission.

Here, personal attention and ongoing advisement are cornerstones. From the moment students enroll, they have a network of resources to help them transition to a university environment, support academically and facilitate their personal and professional development. These benefits, together with an emphasis on quality education, are the reasons why we bring out the best in every student.
