The Arcadia Promise: A distinctively global, integrative and personal learning experience The Arcadia Promise affirms that students will have a distinctively global, integrative and personal learning experience that prepares them to contribute and prosper in a diverse and dynamic world. Arcadia students are challenged to achieve their full potential and recognize their ability and responsibility to make choices that affect the future of their world. Through interactions with faculty, staff and peers representing a diversity of cultural backgrounds, they gain self-confidence and respect for others, learn by using the latest technologies, and acquire essential skills and knowledge that prepare them for a rich and meaningful life. At Arcadia University, we involve students in learning about the world outside of our immediate area, and bring a global perspective onto campus and into the classroom. We believe that it is vital to developing future leaders and citizens that the ever-increasing interdependence among nations and cultures, abroad and at home, be explored in many facets of the curriculum. While our goals are lofty, the Arcadia University community remains personal, challenging, and diverse. Personal attention highlights academics, student life, even athletics and activities. While our average class size remains around 16, it is not unusual to find upper-division classes with fewer than 12 students. Professors are accessible, and assistance is readily available from many sources. Our campus offers students the best of all worlds. Located 25 minutes north of Center City, Philadelphia, Arcadia University offers a beautiful campus in a peaceful residential neighborhood. The campus, on the grounds of a former private estate, is distinguished by historic buildings, including Grey Towers Castle, a national historic landmark. With 75% of all full-time undergraduate students residing on campus, the University offers a wide variety of activities including Division III athletics and more than 40 clubs and organizations. Arcadia recognizes the value of non-traditional learning and welcomes the applications of homeschoolers.
