What makes TU Klein College stand out? What would you say is the most unique thing about Klein College?
In addition to being one of the largest and most comprehensive colleges of media and communication in the nation, Klein College stands out for its outstanding blend of faculty and the extent to which learning happens in our North Philadelphia community. Our faculty are a mix of highly accomplished and internationally cited researchers and professionals who have spent decades working in media, advertising, PR, advocacy and other communication fields. Our students work inside the classroom and throughout the city, in courses like Philadelphia Neighborhoods on TUTV, where students report on otherwise under-covered neighborhoods in the city online and on the university’s HD cable TV station. Students also flex their muscles outside the classroom in a variety of student-run organizations where they produce professional work.
