Widener University

Over the past 200 years, Widener has built a reputation for putting students on the inside track to successful careers and futures. 

A Powerful Education. A Respected Degree.

• Widener is known for investing in the personal and professional success of every student—undergraduates and graduates, adults and lifelong learners. Across more than 60 programs, including those offered at the associate, baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral level, Widener prepares the next generation of professionals while informing the future of the professions they go on to lead.
• A short train ride from Center City, Philadelphia, Widener's safe and welcoming campus serves as a launchpad for an ambitious, hardworking community of students. One-on-one career guidance helps students land prestigious co-ops and internships. And faculty mentors open doors for breakthrough research. These experiences set Widener students apart in the marketplace. 
• Prepared for success by a university-wide focus on professional leadership development, our graduates enjoy fast starts and often advance to management positions, posting a median post-graduate salary well above the national average.

Campus & Community Resources

• From a museum to an observatory and arboretum, Main Campus is home to resources and facilities that enrich our students' learning and enjoyment of life—and others that provide direct benefits to the citizens of neighboring Chester, including a university-run lab school and nursing and physical therapy clinics.
