Schedule a Visit
Visiting Philadelphia University is the best
way to determine if this is the right school for you.
While you’re in town, take a short ride into Center City and
run the art museum steps like Rocky, eat a cheesesteak, or tour part
of America’s most historic square mile including sites like
Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.
To experience campus life at Philadelphia
University during a typical class day, we encourage a weekday visit
during the months of September through April, excluding breaks and
exams. We also offer opportunities to see campus
during the summer months of mid-May to mid-August.
We provide tours of campus during semester breaks; however,
these are not ideal days to visit campus as classes will not be in
session, many students may leave campus, and some residence halls
and academic buildings may be closed.
Campus Tour & Meeting with
an Admissions Counselor (Monday
- Friday) >>
Join a small group of other visiting families and take a walking tour of campus with one of our student Rambassadors. You will also have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with an Admissions Counselor to talk about your goals, our academic programs, the admissions process, financial assistance, and more. Be sure to bring a list of your questions! You may also be able to schedule a meeting with a faculty member or athletic coach.
The walking tour of campus is split into two parts. You will tour one half of campus for 45 minutes, meet with a counselor for about 20 minutes, and then tour the second half of campus for approximately 45 minutes.
