THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY

Jefferson is a model professional university born from a unique merger of Philadelphia University and Thomas Jefferson University. Through our distinctive and award-winning 21st-century curriculum, we are preparing students with the skills they need to succeed and lead now and in the future of work. Our students collaborate across disciplines and reimagine what is humanly possible in multiple, meaningful ways. Made up of 10 colleges and three schools, we are training the next generation of leaders and professionals in architecture, business, design, engineering, fashion and textiles, health, medicine, and social science.
