- Harcum has a tradition of academic excellence and outstanding career preparation primarily, but not exclusively, for women. That was the case in 1915, when Harcum comprised five students and three pianos, and still is today in our state-of-the-art multimedia classrooms. In its early years, Harcum was a preparatory school, giving students the skills needed for college study. It quickly grew, soon adding junior college-level courses. In 1956, Pennsylvania granted Harcum permission to be the first junior college in the Commonwealth's history to confer the Associate of Arts and the Associate of Science degrees. Tremendous building and expansion occurred in the 1960s.
- Our degree programs are divided into three distinct areas-Allied Health, Business and Professional Studies and Liberal Studies and Education.
- The Business programs provide excellence in business education by offering an appropriate blend of the fundamental principles and practices of business. The program emphasizes contemporary business theory and practices set in a diverse and ethical context. The College offers a unique set of special academic programs, including the PACT Program, TRIO Programs, Medley Music Programs, and International Initiatives.
- All programs at Harcum College share the same characteristics of excellence like instruction by hands-on professionals in their field, all students are given the opportunity to complete a career-related work experience either through required internships, clinical or practicum experiences, or service learning activities, all programs integrate liberal learning throughout their curriculum and all students graduate with both career-specific and life-enriching skills.
