About Cabrini University

Why Consider Cabrini University?

Cabrini University has its foundation in service. They dedicate themselves to exactly that: serving their students and community to the best of their ability. That means offering programs that work for you in real life—without impeding your work, family, and personal obligations. It means offering students the support and resources they need learn and thrive. It means fostering a spirit of social justice, and working to build up the community they call home. So, why consider earning your graduate degree at Cabrini University? Here are four reasons you might want to do so.

The Value

Cabrini University strives to help students access the education they need. That’s why they work to keep the Cabrini University tuition as affordable as they can—even at the graduate level. That means clear communication about costs you may owe and why, the resources to help mitigate those costs, and the guidance you need to navigate it all. Of course, financial figures are only half of the value Cabrini offers its students. There’s also what you get back—namely, a career-focused education designed to give you the tools you need to achieve your goals, grounded in community values.

The Location

Cabrini University is located in Radnor PA, which is part of the Main Line, in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. That alone could be a reason to study here. It’s grounded in a vibrant community, with a rich history, and easy train access to Philadelphia. Several corporations are headquartered in Radnor, with many more in surrounding communities and in the city. Being so close to Philly, Cabrini is also conveniently situated at the midpoint between New York City and Washington DC, along the Northeast Corridor—so if you want to explore the East Coast in your free time, Cabrini could be your ideal home base from which to do it.

The Community Spirit

Cabrini was one of the first colleges to include for-credit community service in its general education curriculum, and to require all undergrads to complete community service. That should say something about the type of place Cabrini is. Cabrini’s philosophy is rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, which holds to the dignity of each person, the importance of family and community, and people’s responsibilities to one another (particularly those in need). Cabrini students, faculty, and alumni are involved in an array of projects, which aim to help members of the local community access food and education, and even support and protect the environment. Their efforts have been recognized with distinctions including the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

The Education

Cabrini University works to offer its graduate students an education they can use, not just in the classroom, but throughout their careers and throughout life. Each masters and doctoral program is designed with application in mind, looking toward the demands of today’s professional market. Graduate students here may have the opportunity to bolster that education through hands-on experience and service learning. Already have some experience? With Cabrini’s online learning and flexible part time scheduling options, your education could work around and alongside your career, not against it.
