Philadelphia University provides you with Power to Do! What does this mean? It means that we provide you with a professional education designed to meet the career challenges of the 21st Century. This requires several commitments that we make to you. Among these are:

Engaged Learning
As a Philadelphia University student, you learn from your experiences inside and outside the classroom. As an active and cooperative learner, you are responsible for your learning, which you gain from participation in learning activities such as classroom discussion, group work, laboratories, studios, research, case-based and problem-based learning, participation in collaborative projects, problem solving, and reflection on your experiences.

Real World application
The Philadelphia University curriculum recognizes that every learning opportunity has an application to practice. Academic programs have a professional focus that integrate theory and practice, are tied to industry and the professions, and rely on alumni network for collaboration, opportunities, and support. Academic programs use incorporate cases, internships, coops, clinical rotations, preceptorships, fieldwork, field trips, service learning, and the utilization of actively practicing faculty and guest lecturers to reinforce the connection between theory and practice.

Collaboration
A Philadelphia University education is interdisciplinary. Learning takes place between and among classes, academic programs, schools, and industry. This kind of collaboration creates leaders who can identify and understand real world problems and opportunities, develop solutions, and work successfully among diverse interests.

A Commitment to Green Education
At Philadelphia University, sustainability is a core, foundational value. We believe in and have developed a four-point environmental and sustainability strategy consisting of Academic Programs, Student Engagement, Research and Campus Operations. Our curriculum encourages the development of green materials and products, and underscores operational efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of our campus. Through its investment in and commitment to these efforts, Philadelphia University has emerged as a national leader in sustainability, setting a high standard that serves as a model for other colleges and universities.

I encourage you to learn more about our graduate programs. Whether your interest lies in our School of Architecture, School of Business Administration, School of Design & Media, School of Engineering & Textiles or School of Science & Health, we are committed to providing you with a professional graduate education that will grant you the skills and competence to tackle the challenges that await you.

So get started today. It’s time you have Power to Do!
