Adult learners and nontraditional students are our main focus. In fact, right now most of our student population is made up of working adults — and we’ve been helping adult learners and working adults just like you achieve their dream of earning a college degree for more than 150 years.

In recognition of Peirce's efforts to serve the unique needs of adult learners, Washington Monthly ranked Peirce as one of Northeast's top "Best Bang for the Buck" colleges and one of the nation's best bachelor's colleges based on our contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research, and promoting public service.
