Academics
What if we didn’t just rely on the typical way forward? What if, rather than the vertical thinking that takes problems head-on, we could solve them with a radically different approach? That’s exactly what we do. At the new Jefferson – born out of the merger of Philadelphia University and Thomas Jefferson University – you will collaborate with your peers across disciplines and redraw the limits and slice through every standard and norm that exists. Because that’s where the greatest human advancements are made. We believe that it is at the intersection of thinking, doing and the inclusion of varied perspectives that you will discover new possibilities for the world. You will redefine humanly possible, giving you the competitive advantage employers are seeking.
A Degree That's Never Been Done
At Jefferson, we are forward-thinking by design. You can study medicine, fashion, engineering, law and more, with the freedom to explore the intersections between disciplines to prepare you for what’s yet to come.
