William Penn University

William Penn University is an inclusive and dynamic community where all students are valued, supported, and given the opportunity to reach their highest potential. Since 1873, our rich Quaker heritage gives us a foundation for a diverse student body with a deep understanding of acceptance.

We foster a culture of willingness to change to meet the needs of our students. Innovative educational delivery options include traditional daytime courses, online and evening classes, and 8-week courses that provide opportunities for individuals to receive their education on their own terms.
