Venture Into the Unknown
Our distinctive programs will deepen your understanding of the world—and your place in it.
Arcadia is ranked among the Princeton Review’s “Best Northeastern” universities and U.S. News & World Report's top Regional Universities in the North.
Guided by your interests, you’ll be prepared to think critically, communicate effectively, and lead in your field.
You can research alongside expert faculty, develop creative projects in one-of-a-kind facilities, and work with career mentors to define (and achieve) your goals.

Venture Toward Success
For Accounting graduate Mark Trejo ’21, Arcadia University is about “enjoying every moment, having fun, and leaving your mark everywhere you go.” The first-generation student completed internships at the Guadalupe Center and Lipman Family Farms before accepting a position at one of the country’s top auditing firms near his hometown of Immokalee, Fla.
Arcadia’s Psychology and Sociology programs inspired Zac Fiss ’21 to help children cope with crises. While working at a therapeutic nursery through our Intern Philly program, Fiss was offered a position with Devereux’s Children Behavioral Health Services. On campus, launching Arcadia’s Psychology club and serving as a resident assistant confirmed his path: “It exposed me to different needs, backgrounds, and issues.”
Moved by her brother’s fatal battle with Hydrocephalus, Graphic Design major Mya Brown ’21 worked with the Hydrocephalus Association to develop their website and marketing materials as part of her Capstone. The project helped her land a junior graphic designer position in Philadelphia: “I got experience beyond design, like working with clients and setting up contracts.”
