Emergency Aid Grant Application

The Summer 2023 Emergency Aid Grant application is now closed.

Students should check their Peirce email frequently; award emails are sent there as well as requests for additional information. In previous grant periods, students have not been awarded because they did not respond to requests from the committee in a timely manner.

All requests will be evaluated and decisions will be communicated directly with students. If you have questions, please contact Tracey Thomas at tathomas@peirce.edu.

Peirce College Moving to New Center City Location

For the fifth time in our history, Peirce College is moving. 

The College has moved our main campus to 1608 Walnut Street, where we will occupy the entire 19th floor. The 12,000 square-foot space allows Peirce to create a flexible, modern and modular space aligned with the evolving, post-pandemic needs of our institution and our students.

The new location provides more flex space to better meet the changing needs of our students and our institution, including instruction and administrative space, student services, hoteling and collaborative space. To learn more about the space and see a list of FAQs, please visit the website.

The College is planning to hold events for students, alumni, donors and staff to visit the new campus and see our new home. 

As a reminder, all courses and student services at Peirce College will be offered entirely online for Session 6 and Session 1. Information about delivery for upcoming sessions will be shared later.

Peirce is also excited to announce a new track in Medical Billing for its Career Bridge program, new opportunities to earn graduate credit via portfolio assessment, and new ways for students to earn credit at no cost via our partnership with Coursera.

In March 2022, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education reaffirmed Peirce College’s accreditation.

Peirce met all standards and received no requirements or recommendations.
