  • Arcadia Unversity
    ! Arcadia University Founded in 1853 in Beaver, Pennsylvania as the Beaver Female Seminary, Arcadia University has been on its current campus in Glenside, a suburb that is 10 miles north of Philadelphia, since 1925. At that time, the school, then called Beaver College, was all- female and would remain so until 1972. In that same year the college also became a more comprehensive institution, offering graduate degrees for the first time. In 2001, Beaver College was granted university status by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and was renamed Arcadia University. Today Arcadia has approximately 4,000 students, including approximately 2,500 undergraduates. It is the smallest secular private university in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Arcadia is also nearly 70 percent female, according to data supplied by the university to US News. Arcadia is a moderately selective school, perhaps because of several unique degree programs, especially in education, the sciences and the health professions. Nearly 60 percent of the students who applied to join the freshman class that entered in 2014 were offered admission. The entering class had just under 1,200 students. The middle 50 percent of the class that submitted SAT scores scored between 1000 and 1200 (out of 1600) on the Critical Reading and Math sections of the test. The middle 50 percent for the ACT was between 22 and 27. Just over 60 percent of the undergraduate student body comes from Pennsylvania. Neighboring states including Maryland, New Jersey and New York are also well represented. Given Arcadia’s location and academic offerings—the university’s attractions are in business, communications, international studies and the health sciences—it is likely to be cross-shopped against other Philadelphia-area colleges as well as any state university in Pennsylvania.

    Arcadia University 8 Years Later PAGE 38 INSIDE aRcadia university 2007–08 ANNUAL REPORT Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Message from the President Arcadia University marched into 2008 taking big, bold steps. We developed a visionary Undergraduate Curriculum. We expanded our worldwide footprint to South Africa, Tanzania, France, and India. We developed robust online degree programs. We attracted more interest than ever from prospective students. We planned for a new Commons for students. We opened a new building and a new entrance. We began the largest-ever Campaign in this University’s history and ended the first year of the quiet phase with more than $12 million in commitments and gifts toward a goal of $23.5 million. I want to take this opportunity to thank each member of the Arcadia community because it is our collective effort that enables us to accomplish so much more together. Each donor recognized in this Annual Report made an important contribution to this University’s goals—and to our students’ success. Alumni, faculty, staff, parents, friends—your contributions are an affirmative statement about the educational quality experienced by each new generation of students in the warm shadow of Grey Towers Castle. In many conversations with alumni over the last two years, I have been able to point to what we are planning, what we are doing, and what we have accomplished already. Yet even as we tally the progress we are making, I sense that in many ways we are closing the circle with our history.
