Graduate Programs
Graduate and professional studies at Arcadia University range widely from the liberal arts to the primarily professional, from the doctoral level to workshops. Arcadia's international perspective is reflected in programs such as its accelerated part-time MBA with a Global Perspective, its Master of Arts in International Peace and Conflict Resolution and its new program in Paris, France. The master's program in Forensic Science is accredited by FEPAC.
The Physician Assistant program, housed in the Department of Medical Science and Community Health, has again graduated another class with a 100% pass rate on the national boards. In fact, the class of 2009 included the first graduating class from the Delaware campus and is currently ranked in the 98th percentile of all programs (148 and counting) based on this year's board scores.
Arcadia University also currently ranks 7th in the nation (U.S.News) with its Doctor of Physical therapy program. This program has international opportunities for study abroad in London and Pro Bono opportunities in Jamaica, Peru, Guatemala and Morocco. There are clinical sites offered across the country, though mainly in the tristate area.

Famous quotes containing the words graduate and/or programs:
“1946: I go to graduate school at Tulane in order to get distance from a “possessive” mother. I see a lot of a red-haired girl named Maude-Ellen. My mother asks one day: “Does Maude-Ellen have warts? Every girl I’ve known named Maude-Ellen has had warts.” Right: Maude-Ellen had warts.”
—Bill Bouke (20th century)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
