Admission Guide
Apply through the Common Application with your high school transcript, one letter of recommendation, and a personal essay. Cabrini uses rolling admissions, so you can submit your application anytime after August 1st, though applying earlier gives you better access to housing and financial aid.
You don't need to submit SAT or ACT scores unless you want to be considered for merit scholarships or the honors program. The school will review your application without test scores and make an admission decision based on your transcript and essay.
Housing fills up quickly despite the small student body, so submit your housing deposit as soon as you're accepted if you want to live on campus. The residence halls house most underclassmen, and many upperclassmen move to nearby apartments in Radnor or commute from the Philadelphia area.
New students attend a two-day orientation program in June or August where you'll register for classes and complete placement testing for math and English. You can also attend a one-day orientation right before classes start in late August if you can't make the summer sessions.
The campus sits on the former Cabrini College grounds in Radnor Township, about 20 minutes from downtown Philadelphia by car or train. The Radnor train station on the SEPTA Main Line is walking distance from campus, making it easy to reach Center City or the airport without a car.
Business and education programs dominate enrollment, with accounting and finance graduates seeing the strongest post-graduation earnings. The nursing program requires separate application materials and has more competitive admission standards than other majors.
