In 2005, Harcum College, in collaboration with I-LEAD, Inc. (a community based non-profit that works to improve local quality of life by helping to strengthen citizens as effective community leaders) launched the first accelerated associate’s degree program in Leadership Studies. Since then, additional majors and locations have been added to the surrounding five-county area. The growth of the accelerated degree
programs is largely due to a unique initiative between Harcum College, I-LEAD, Inc. and local community based organizations. These community based organizations are located throughout southeastern Pennsylvania, bringing the opportunity of higher education to residents of some of the
Commonwealth's most challenged communities.
The programs offer affordable tuition, an accelerated format, and convenient evening courses, which meet twice a week. The programs are fully accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education
through Harcum College. Students participating in the programs are fully-matriculated students of Harcum College and their degree is awarded by Harcum College. The programs encompass the key elements
necessary for success, enabling the graduate to address the complexities of today’s workforce.
