Editor's Notes
We share this number up front, a lot of school’s do not. And we don’t shy away from it. This will be your investment.
An education is an investment and PhilaU will offer you an unparalleled return on investment. We have an excellent track record of success. We have been preparing our graduates to become industry leaders since 1884.
This past year in a survey of our 2012 graduates, there was a record 96% job placement and Graduate School placement rate of our 2012 graduates. I have a list of over 400 companies where students are working in their field of study. PhilaU will help you become part of this 96% in 4 years.
This is why you go to PhilaU- to graduate ready to get a job or get into your grad school or medical school of choice. (FYI- these are all 2012 graduates in these positions)
Highlighted graduate school placement
We are talking about recent graduates like Brittany Lease. Brittany was a summer intern at Coach in 2011, in the fall she continued to work for Coach in New York and in the Coach retail store at the King of Prussia mall. A year and a half later, Brittany is a costing coordinator at Coach in New York City.

These efforts along with the targeted efforts of faculty, advisors and College deans places students in hundreds of internships each year. You remember the list from the beginning. This is where you study as a PhilaU intern- top companies like, Gap, Target, Tommy Hilfiger.
We bring experts from all areas of industry to engage with our students. Tommy Hilfiger,
We know that the best way to learn is to make sure the environment fits. The new DEC Center’s space reconfigures as dictated by what is being learned, instead of the other way around.
Our faculty our distinguished industry professionals. Their expertise goes beyond teaching, giving students immediate connections to a network of real-world professionals.
You hear a lot of similar highlights from other schools. But what PhilaU offers is a learning experience that builds on the coops and internships unlike other schools. It melds students in different majors to work with real industry professionals. You don’t have to leave school to go to your internship to get the real world expereice.
The winning students were taken by TD Bank to present at a conference executives in Toronto last summer.
This is not just a study abroad (though of course we have that too) this is work experience abroad, this is preparations for graduation and for getting a job and understanding the global context of your field.
We believe strongly this model of education. Where other schools are trying to catch up, this is our every day learning style. But in case you want a little more proof….

However, we think the best proof is in our graduates- this is who many of the people in this room will become in 4 years. If you want to see more about all of the hundreds of success stories- refer to highlights or direct them to website.
