Peirce College
Peirce College is a private, non-profit 4 year college located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a focus on non-traditional college students.
== History ==
In 1865, Thomas May Peirce, a Philadelphia educator, founded the Union Business College. The curriculum was designed to provide returning Civil War soldiers a business-focused education in anticipation of post-war business growth and expansion. Different from many colleges and universities of the era, Union was co-educational at its founding.〔 Originally housed within Handel and Haydn Hall on Spring Garden Street, the college moved to its present location at 1420 Pine Street in 1915. In 1917, the school was renamed the Peirce School of Business Administration.
In 1964 Peirce School was renamed Peirce Junior College as it received approval to grant associate degrees. In 1997 the College was approved to grant Bachelor of Science degrees and was renamed Peirce College. In 2000 the College began offering online courses.
The Pine Street facilities have twice been awarded the General Building Contractors Association's Best Institutional Project in the under $5 million category; in 2001 for improvements made to College Hall, and in 2011 for the new Library.〔http://blog.peirce.edu/2011/12/new-library-gets-kudos-from-general.html〕
