Philadelphia University's Strategic Plan: DEC Goals

DEC: GOALS

Create an endowed, distinguished professorship in each discipline: Business, Engineering and Design. As a team, these distinguished professors will be charged with creating and championing higher education’s most innovative collaborative curriculum.
Form Institutes of excellence to promulgate deeply embedded competencies of the university, such as:
- Textiles
- Industrial Design
- Fashion Design
The institutes will provide leadership in defining state-of-the-art, connecting with and influencing the core D.E.C. curriculum, and serving as a bridge to and from alumni, industry, and D.E.C. Establish other Institutes as additional strengths emerge.
Design and construct functional space that promotes and supports active pedagogy, studio learning, collaboration, innovation and discovery.
Create both bi-lateral and tri-lateral curriculum to integrate with and complement the three disciplines.
