Education & Career Exploration Opportunities
Jefferson’s academic outreach initiatives inspire and prepare middle school, high school, and college students to pursue careers in STEM, healthcare, and design.
Launched in 2014 with a focus on science and health professions, the academic outreach programs have grown to include architecture, landscape design, textile design, fashion, and more following the merger of Philadelphia University and Thomas Jefferson University.
Central to the mission of these programs is expanding opportunities for students from diverse, first-generation, and historically marginalized communities to explore their interests and prepare for their futures.
