Arcadia University

Arcadia University is a beautiful rolling campus built on the grounds of the historic landmark Grey Towers Castle in Glenside, Pa. Arcadia is located just 25 minutes from Center City Philadelphia—and its renowned historical and arts venues.

Arcadia's nationally recognized program in Fine Arts, in combination with a liberal arts environment, provides students with a unique atmosphere to grow creatively and intellectually. The Department believes that the art and imagery of the past and present together shape an individual's self and cultural identity, and it educates students to become artists who will develop keen powers of observation, communication and inquiry, technical and formal excellence, and a creative spirit.
