Notes de l'éditeur
In 2007 we launched an aggressive Strategic Planning process that started with a simple but compelling vision.Philadelphia University is the model for professional university education.
It is clear that since our founding we have been focused on innovation.
When entrepreneurs match their personal talents, skills and aspirations to society’s needs they create value. Our graduates take on the entrepreneurial DNA of this place. They learn to identify problems that need solving, develop the best solutions and go on to implement them, creating value wherever they go.
The planning process resulted in the development of seven key initiatives that are helping us to realize our vision. From these initiatives and the history of Philadelphia University, we began to develop our brand platform and our story.
It is about helping our graduates to be experts in their field of choice and to have a broad understanding across disciplines. It is what will help them to be leaders at every level of their careers.
