Founded in 1865, Peirce is a private, four-year, specialized institution providing practical, leading edge curricula to primarily working adult learners. First and foremost, at Peirce, we believe that the importance we place on fostering strong relationships with our students significantly differentiates us from others. We take a personal approach to education. From the challenges of a student's first day, to his/her sense of achievement at graduation, Peirce faculty, staff and administrators are dedicated wholeheartedly to working closely with students to maximize their opportunities for success.
