Professions today need people who understand the global economy and international issues, people who can work in teams and adapt to change, people who know how to learn and realize that the undergraduate years are only the beginning of a life of learning. The world needs men and women who understand ethical issues, are sensitive to cultural difference, and are comfortable working in the national multicultural workforce as well as in the international work arena. 

Philadelphia University has created a general education core curriculum, the College Studies Program, which provides students with the tools to understand the social, economic, political and environmental context of their rapidly changing professions along with their increasing responsibilities as world citizens.  Our students graduate with writing, research, critical thinking and communication skills, emerging as professionals making valuable and responsible contributions to their chosen fields.   Students, through our College Studies program, move beyond a purely technical education and become truly innovative and effective professionals.
