“The Philadelphia Center faculty and staff provided me with the steady support I needed to function in a drastically new environment, while simultaneously pushing me to see the world through a wider lens. The confidence I gained through my experiences in Philadelphia allowed me to overcome my fear of the unknown—opening wide the doors of the world.”

Electives
Our four-credit Electives offer students an opportunity to further diversify their course of study and, like the City Seminars, often take advantage of the city by using it as a classroom.
Elective courses meet one evening per week. Our adjunct faculty members, many or whom are practicing professionals, bring their real-world perspectives into the classroom.

- Abnormal Psychology - Lori Nelsen-Luneburg

- Economic Perspective on Modern Urban Issues - Howard Keen
- Exploring Relationships in Fiction and Film: Sex, Gender, and Sexuality - Mark Andrew Clark
