Harcum's unique combination of two-year, career-oriented academic programs and a residential campus experience make it a popular destination for students from Pennsylvania and neighboring states. As one of Pennsylvania's leading independent colleges, Harcum's student clinical and practicum experiences, its faculty and alumni have an impact that is felt throughout the Philadelphia region and beyond.
Here is what a few employers and partners of Harcum have to say about the College:
"I view a two-year degree program such as the one Harcum offers as one of the single most important steps to getting the maximum number of people into the workforce. So many people are daunted by the prospect of climbing a four-year mountain that Harcum offers the perfect middle ground for people to go to school, obtain a degree in the health-related disciplines, go out into the workforce and then perhaps at a later time get their baccalaureate. It's all a building block to success for the students."
- former Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham
"Harcum College and Main Line Health have a dynamic and vibrant partnership where we provide students with learning opportunities in all of our clinical sites, hire Harcum graduate nurses and provide adjunct faculty to link our Magnet clinical excellence to their program."
- Nancy Valentine, Ph.D., Chief Nursing Officer, Main Line Health
"The Harcum-educated veterinary nurses at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine are crucial team members, without whom our hospitals simply would be unable to provide the high-quality services for which we have gained world renown. At Penn Vet's George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals at New Bolton Center and Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital for companion animals in Philadelphia, Harcum nurses assist with emergencies, diagnostic procedures and treatments -- working closely with veterinary specialists within all clinical sections."
- Joan C. Hendricks, Ph.D., V.M.D. The Gilbert S. Kahn Dean of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania
"Harcum has been the leader for over a decade in training Dental Assistants to become Expanded Function Dental Assistants (EFDAs). EFDAs are a dynamic extension of the restorative dentist's treatment abilities. They increase the access for patient delivery of services, and they create a new dynamic of growth, education, and professional stimulation for the Dental Assistant.
- Kenneth D. Loeffler II, D.M.D., MAGD
