Whether you’re pursuing an undergraduate degree or elevating your career in one of our powerhouse graduate programs, here, from day one, you'll be an insider.
Our faculty are prominent figures in their fields. They steer research and shape practices that inform the future of your profession. They have a network of connections directly related to your future path. When you arrive at your next workplace, you'll feel the value of their knowledge, insights, and advice.
Through one-on-one meetings with career counselors, you'll prepare to achieve your short-term goals (that next job) while focusing on long-term career success (the leadership roles that follow). These counselors will dig in with you, listening as you describe your goals, dreams, and concerns. You'll graduate ready to start fast and advance quickly in your field.
At Widener, you won't have to look far to build your professional network. In fact, you may not need to look at all. You'll make connections initiated by your professors. You'll stay in constant contact with alumni. You'll form bonds with co-op, internship, and field supervisors. And you'll take advantage of Widener's reputation in your industry. With this network by your side, you'll be well positioned for success.
We're home to state-of-the-art academic facilities, including our nursing simulation, robotics engineering, and finance labs, plus a fully-equipped television studio. These spaces provide you with the type of hands-on experiences you need to succeed. Even as "the new person" on the job, you'll serve as an expert in the tech, trends, and tools of your field.
On the inside track, these Widener students have launched powerful careers. Read their stories.
Being able to have these internships and experiences outside of the classroom makes me feel happy because not only am I able to build connections, but I’m getting experience and understanding with the career that I want.
It’s an understanding at Widener that the faculty and staff want their students to succeed.
When I’m here I feel I am welcomed in the community. That’s what has guided me.
One thing that Widener did so well was teach me how to adapt to different programming languages and user systems. I definitely was prepared to take on that challenge.
It’s really important to me to be involved in setting an image, especially for first-generation students or people who are shy or minority students on campus. I want to use my voice.
I had a lot of hands-on experiences [during my internship] where I would go out and interview either experts in a particular field or leadership at different parks and at different sustainability initiatives throughout the county.
Our programs help you plan for a career (and a life) that's bound to take on many forms.
Here, you can turn your passions and curiosities into a career worth leading. Work one-on-one with career counselors to map your plan A (and your plan B, in case you change your mind). Customize your education by adding a minor or a double major, or enrolling in one of our dual degree graduate programs. You'll end up with a tailor-made education that suits your personal and professional interests and opens doors for jobs, promotions, and graduate study.
Through one of our accelerated program options, you'll turn your long-term goals into short-term accomplishments. All of our undergraduate majors can roll into an accelerated graduate degree. That means you can earn both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, graduate a year early, and save a year of tuition. Your advanced education will put you on the inside track to higher-level positions and earning potential.
Twenty years ago, students didn't train for careers in app development or drone operation. The job market keeps evolving. But don't fret: here at Widener, you'll prepare for today and tomorrow. You'll learn from students and faculty across many programs, gaining a broader interdisciplinary view of your work. You'll learn to think critically, solve problems from new perspectives, and quickly adapt to new technology. And by adding a minor or certificate to your degree, you'll acquire diverse skills that help you thrive in any setting.
Recognized by experts and valued by students and alumni, our programs serve as a launchpad for life.
