Widener University - Chester, PA

In 1821, Widener University began as a preparatory school called the Bullock School for Boys. It was located in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1858, it became Delaware Military Academy, and four years later it was moved to Pennsylvania where it was renamed Pennsylvania Military Academy. While it became a college in 1862, it wasn’t until 1972 that Widener University became the private university that it is today.

Widener University averages about 6,400 students and offers eight degree-granting schools, from associate’s degrees to doctoral degrees. Widener University is considered one of the nation’s top universities for civic engagement with 75 percent of Widener students participating in volunteer activities or community service. Service organizations partnered with Widener University include Big Brother/Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, and Alpha Phi Omega (a service fraternity).
