What are Widener University's strengths?

I'm interested in Widener University but I don’t know much about it yet. How are the academics, campus life, and available programs? Would you recommend it to an out-of-state student considering law or business studies?

Widener University has been known for its strong focus on professional leadership preparation, particularly in the areas of law and business, which could be engaging if those are the paths you want to pursue.

Academically, Widener's School of Business Administration offers a variety of programs, from traditional business degrees to more specialized programs such as health care management. Complementing the curriculum is the school's emphasis on experiential learning, which equips students with practical knowledge and skills.

Widener's law school, Delaware Law School, also stands out. The law school takes pride in its community outreach work such as the environmental and bankruptcy pro bono clinics, which provide opportunities for students to work alongside professionals in a practical legal setting.

In terms of campus life, Widener provides an all-encompassing student experience, offering over 90 clubs and organizations that include fraternities, sororities, academic honor societies, and leadership groups. The university is small, which lends itself to a tight-knit community, but due to its proximity to Philadelphia, students have access to the experiences and opportunities of a larger city.

I'd recommend that an out-of-state student thoroughly research the school to ensure it matches with what you're looking for in terms of campus size, proximity to a city, campus culture, and academic offerings in law and business. If these factors align with your preferences and academic goals, Widener could very well be a fitting choice.
