Even though Philadelphia University has six distinct schools – architecture, business administration, design and media, liberal arts, science & health, and engineering & textiles – our approach to education develops students’ skills to work outside of the box. Philadelphia University students team up across disciplines, across schools and across nations, with amazing results. And, not only do graduate students and faculty work together on research, but here at Philadelphia University, undergraduates work side-by-side with faculty on research projects.
School of Architecture
You can major in architecture, architecture studies,
landscape architecture or interior design. The classrooms,
labs and studios are microcosms of the professional world,
where you will learn concepts and skills on state-of-the-art
equipment, gain an understanding of all the
factors--environmental, cultural, economic and
political--that shape planning and design, and apply your
knowledge to real-world projects.
School of Business Administration
You have a broad range of majors to choose from, including accounting, fashion merchandising, international business, human resources and more. You will learn by doing in the classroom and through internships and co-ops with companies like Deloitte Touche in Philadelphia and Dean Witter Reynolds on Wall Street, or study abroad in Rome or Japan.
