Welcome!
As a parent, guardian, or family member of a prospective student, the college search journey is also your journey.
You want to know that your student’s educational experience will prepare them for life and a career, that your student will be happy and successful in their college choice, and that they will be safe at college.
You likely have questions about affordability and may even question if a four-year college degree is worth the investment. Some parents and guardians are concerned about meeting deadlines for admission and financial aid.
At Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, we can address your questions and help your student to succeed in college and in life. You and your student will have the services of a personal admission counselor who will assist you with all aspects of the admission, financial aid, and enrollment processes.
The college selection process can be overwhelming at times, and we want to make sure that you stay on track to maximize all opportunities for receiving financial aid, a class schedule, support services, etc.
Call us at 717.396.7833 ext. 1001 or email admissions@pcad.edu to speak to your personal admission counselor. We can’t wait to meet you.
Warmly,
Robert Beener
Dean of Admissions
