Messiah College: Philadelphia Campus

In response to the increasing urbanization and globalization of American society, Messiah College, guided by Ernest Boyer, Ray Hostetter, and Albert Meyer, launched its Philadelphia Campus in 1968. Exciting, challenging, enriching, and inspiring, the Messiah College-Philadelphia Campus continues to transform students' lives and enlighten their minds and hearts. Graduates credit Messiah's Philadelphia Campus as the bridge that linked a successful college career to a satisfying profession in an expanding globalized marketplace.

Students expand their worldview at the Philadelphia Campus. Daily exposure to multiple cultures at Temple University, mingling with urbanites of every description on the streets of the city, and involvement in a kaleidoscope of urban churches and ministries, all contribute to the educational ideals of Messiah College. Students grow as they sample the vast network of educational, cultural, and artistic resources available throughout the city.

Messiah's Philadelphia Campus combines the intimate spiritual community of Messiah College and the diversity accompanying a large urban institution, such as Temple University, with a multitude of opportunities in the city of Philadelphia. The "Guided Discovery Program" integrates these experiences through inquiry and instruction embedded within the context of our learning community and the city in which we dwell.
