Ursinus College

Ursinus College is a liberal arts college. We’re one of the nation’s “Colleges that Change Lives” and a place that embodies openness—open to explore, learn, and innovate. 

Offering an immersive American college experience just 25 miles outside of Philadelphia, students have access to world-class cultural, historical, and career opportunities in a major U.S. city, while enjoying the close-knit community of a small, liberal arts campus.

At Ursinus, students can dive into a dynamic academic journey with over 60 majors and minors spanning the arts, sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Our facilities — including modern laboratories, library, studios and our Innovation and Discovery Center—fuel curiosity and hands-on learning. 

Beyond academics, Ursinus buzzes with life through 80+ student clubs, from the arts to community service and everything in between. With small class sizes that ensure personalized attention and a campus full of opportunities, Ursinus isn’t just a college—it’s a place where students are unafraid to chart their our own course and make new history each day.
