About Arcadia University Overview Arcadia University, a private, comprehensive university, offers a wide variety of liberal arts and professional programs in a personalized setting. Building on 150 years of academic achievement, this coeducational, independent institution combines liberal education and career preparation in its undergraduate programs. Recognizing the pluralism of our nation and the increasing internationalism in business and other institutions, the university is also dedicated to expanding students’ horizons and preparing them to prosper in a culturally diverse world. Students may pursue undergraduate study at Arcadia University on a full-time or part-time basis; days, evenings, or weekends; for credit or not for credit. The university offers high-quality undergraduate degree programs in more than 40 fields of study, as well as master’s degrees, doctoral degrees, and certificates of advanced study. An Arcadia University education is rooted in the tradition of liberal arts learning. The academic program is designed to help students acquire a broad understanding of humankind, nature, and society; specialization in a chosen field as a basis for career opportunities, graduate study, or personal satisfaction; and intellectual abilities needed to continue learning throughout life. Curriculum Students pursue coursework in English composition, modern languages, mathematics, science, humanities, and social sciences. In addition, two interdisciplinary courses are required: “Justice: Multicultural Interpretations” and “Pluralism in the United States.” In these courses, students focus not only on acquiring factual knowledge, but also on three key processes: critical thinking and analysis, communication, and collaborative efforts that enhance their ability to work effectively with others. Diversity Arcadia University offers other resources to help students develop multicultural awareness. Through the Arcadia University Center for Education Abroad, students may participate in any of several dozen programs in Australia, England, Greece, Ireland, Mexico, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Spain, Italy, Korea, Wales, and New Zealand.
