Harcum College seeks to provide opportunity and quality education for career-oriented students. In keeping with the College's mission, Enrollment Counselors treat students holistically and respectfully, valuing the uniqueness of each student's learning style and background. Each applicant's ability to benefit from a Harcum degree program is carefully considered; students whose academic and/or work history indicates a high probability of success will be the strongest candidates.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to schedule a visit to the College, tour the campus, and learn more about programs of interest with an Enrollment Counselor. The visit is a critical part of the admissions process, as it helps to determine the best course of action for the prospective student to achieve his or her goals. Following admission to Harcum College, Academic Advising staff follow up with each student to guide the student in developing an appropriate course of study.

With the exception of the Dental Hygiene program, every program at Harcum College operates under a rolling admissions policy, which means that the Admissions Committee reviews each application file as soon as it is complete. Applicants will be notified within 10 working days-usually sooner-of a decision, and of any conditions necessary for entry. Prospective students are advised to apply as early as possible to ensure admission to the program of choice. Dental Hygiene applicants must submit all required documentation by February 15 of the year in which they wish to begin. Although admissions decisions for the Dental Hygiene program may take a little longer, they will be available within 30 days.

Harcum College accepts students from a wide range of schools in the United States and abroad. The College is open to qualified applicants of all races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds.
