The urban setting of Philadelphia provides a sense of place to enhance the classroom experience, helping students learn first hand how the material in the courses is informed by the environment around them.

All elective courses for fall 2019 and spring 2020 will include an Engaged Scholarship/Praxis component in which courses will be partnering with organizations on a diverse array of projects.
