Center City Campus
Our Center City Campus, located in the heart of Philadelphia, is home to colleges of Health Professions, Nursing, Pharmacy, Population Health, Life Sciences, Rehabilitation Sciences, and the Sidney Kimmel Medical College. This campus is where more than 32,000 doctors, nurses, therapists, teachers, researchers, students, leaders and healers work together every day to improve lives.
Dixon Campus
Thanks to a generous gift from volunteer and philanthropist Edith R. Dixon earlier this year, the Dixon campus officially opened. The new campus is aligned with best practices in designing an academic space that is future focused. At 44,000 square feet, nearly one third of the space will be dedicated to a state-of-the-art simulation center, where both undergraduate and graduate students will engage in complex clinical scenarios that parallel, anticipate and amplify real-life situations.
College of Nursing
Jefferson College of Nursing prepares students to enter practice with excellent clinical skills, real-world nursing experience, and confidence in their ability to work effectively with peers and team members. Our partner in clinical care education, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH), is one of the top-ranked hospitals in the nation and recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center as a Magnet® hospital for quality patient care, nursing excellence, and innovations in professional nursing practice. Our faculty are outstanding clinicians and exemplary teachers, many of whom maintain a clinical practice. Their commitment to the goals of the successful student is evident in our classroom and clinical settings. Equally important, our low student-to-faculty ratio fosters a nurturing environment where mentorship, shared learning, and camaraderie flourish. Jefferson Nursing programs are available in Center City, Philadelphia, and at the Dixon Campus in Horsham, PA.
