“The Philadelphia Center, and most significantly, the idea of experiential education, has been one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life. I can honestly say that I am forever changed because of my decision to come to The Philadelphia Center.”

Experiential Education
Experiential Education means learning by doing. It is a process through which a learner proactively constructs meaning – knowledge, skills, and value – from direct personal experience. At The Philadelphia Center, we teach you to use this powerful method to get the most out of your semester and future experiences.
Our approach encourages you to take control of your learning by participating in our Housing and Placement Processes, defining your learning goals, challenging yourself personally and academically, reflecting critically upon your workplace and living environment, and investigating one of the country’s most vibrant and exciting cities.
