One thing that makes Philadelphia University so special
is that there are no boundaries. Our faculty recognize the
new ways that diversity and collaboration positively impact
the success of our students.
Even though Philadelphia University has five distinct
schools – Architecture, Business Administration, Design and
Engineering, Liberal Arts, and Science and Health – 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.
