Harcum College

Harcum College, located in the Philadelphia suburb of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, operates as a private two-year institution on a 13-acre suburban campus adjacent to the Main Line region. Founded in 1915 as a women's preparatory school, Harcum transitioned to a co-educational junior college in 1952 and now specializes in career-focused associate degree programs. The college maintains a focus on health sciences, offering programs in nursing, dental hygiene, radiologic technology, and veterinary nursing, while also providing degrees in business, criminal justice, and early childhood education. Students can choose to live in one of two residence halls on campus, though the majority of enrollees commute from the surrounding metropolitan area. The college's proximity to Philadelphia provides access to clinical partnerships with regional healthcare facilities and professional internship opportunities.
