It was the best of cities, it was the worst of cities; it was the age of education, it was the age of ignorance; it was the epoch of imagination, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of study, it was the season of idleness; it was the spring of ambition, it was the winter of despair.
All these contradictions come together a single site - University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, PA. Nestled between the sleepy cobblestone streets and busy city streets of Philly lies USciences, a private research university dedicated to providing an exceptional education and to pushing boundaries in scientific research.
As soon as one steps onto USciences’ hallowed grounds, one is astounded by a pleasurable combination of beauty and history. Its graceful Victorian architecture stands in sharp contrast to its purpose: to create a safe haven for knowledge generation and to facilitate exploration. Despite its modest size, USciences has served generations of diverse students from every corner of the globe. In its classrooms, elevators and corridors, from its professors’ podiums to its halls and quads, this institution pulses with an invigorating energy that uplifts souls and encourages new ideas.
The university offers students more than a good education — it opens doors they never knew existed. Students here have access to incredible scientific resources such as a cadaver teaching lab, intricate simulations and experiments, beautiful learning spaces and a hospitable faculty that are determined to guide them on their educational journeys. Small class sizes allow students to interact more with faculty who become their mentors and lifelines throughout their academic career.
USciences offers over 40 Majors and Concentrations across five schools — Pharmacy, Arts & Sciences, Nursing, Public Health and Applied & Professional Sciences — each offering its own unique discoveries, challenges and collaborations. Research is conducted in state-of-the-art facilities across all disciplines — pharmaceutical sciences, epidemiology, biochemistry, healthcare informatics and more.
From the depths of science to all its zeniths, USciences is indeed a world-renowned portal for learning and creativity. Beyond academics are student activities such as Healthy Devil Day (a campus-wide celebration of healthy living), student-run businesses, club sports like soccer and volleyball and much more — all of which encourage students to grow and take on new challenges outside the classroom. This dynamism is ever palpable on campus.
USciences stands tall amongst educational institutions as one whose mission to provide students with both an enriching academic experience and inspiring support system is unparalleled anywhere else in this fine city.
