Admission Requirements
The application process can sometimes be intimidating and overwhelming – even to the most experienced parent or student. Be sure to reach out to your student’s assigned admissions counselor; they are always one of the best resources you have to provide you with reminders and important information.
Philadelphia University subscribes to a "rolling admissions" policy. Rolling admissions means that there is no set application deadline. The Admissions committee will review applications for a given term until all seats are filled. Below you will find a brief overview of requirements and materials needed to complete the application process. For more detailed information or to begin an application click here.
