Holy family university

Holy Family University is a Roman Catholic liberal arts university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] It was chartered in 1954 by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth.[2] In addition to the main Torresdale campus in the northeastern section of the city, there are satellite locations in Newtown, and on Bristol Pike in Bensalem.

Holy Family University is a fully accredited Catholic, private, co-educational university offering undergraduate, graduate, and accelerated degree programs. The University’s main campus is in Northeast Philadelphia, with additional locations in Bensalem and Newtown, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1954 by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth as a private, not-for-profit, faith-inspired community, Holy Family University propels graduates to purpose-driven, values-centered lives through outstanding academic programs, flexible delivery options, manifold experiential learning opportunities, supportive career development, and deep personal connections.

Despite its growth in numbers of students, its geographic expansion from Philadelphia into surrounding counties, its provision of residence opportunities, and its adoption of alternative pedagogical delivery strategies, the University’s purpose remains essentially unchanged—to offer a high-quality, affordable, personalized, and values-centered education in the firm tradition of Catholic higher education. Additionally, Holy Family University is a dynamic institution responding today in order to provide for tomorrow’s needs, always keeping in mind the practical professional outcomes that are important to its students.
