As a distinguished academic institution, Philadelphia University commits itself to become a full partner in the development of Jordanian society and other societies at the regional and global levels. The role of science, technology, information, and means of communication is becoming vital to humanity's well-being. In the coming few years, this role is bound to become a powerful engine of growth. Relevant high–quality education, supported by problem-oriented, inter-disciplinary, and inter-institutional research, is the only means of leading any society to become an active partner in human civilization development. The speed of globalization and the collapse of cultural and economic barriers require modern education, e-learning, and interactive systems rooted in democratic interaction, human rights, complete freedom of thought, and greater creativity by the younger sectors of society. As the rapid development of knowledge, science, and technology could widen the cultural divide between generations and society, modern approaches to education and lifelong interactive learning will become indispensable in alleviating this trend's effects. Carrying a revered name, with deep roots in history, of a major city of the Decapolis on the King's Road linking old civilizations, Philadelphia is committed to moving forward along the information highway through the twin engines of quality and modernity. It hopes to make a strong bond between knowledge, learning, and modern civilization. The keynote here is the provision of proper, fast-developing, and morally informed education. Young men and women are the vehicles that launch societies into a future propelled by quality education to prosperity and innovation. Philadelphia University and its sister institutions will be instrumental in bringing this about. PU strives to: Prepare graduates who are well-equipped with knowledge, skills, and values and highly motivated to lifelong learning and capable of fulfilling new requirements. Foster academic research and graduate studies and support innovation plans. Establish a productive partnership with the local community. We hope that this plan will guide work in all academic and administrative units at PU toward enhancing performance and fulfilling excellence requirements locally, regionally, and internationally. In light of the continuous expansion in its programs and its aspiration to attain excellence and satisfy future needs, Philadelphia University (PU) has adopted a strategic plan for 2012-2017. Accordingly, PU's vision, mission, and strategic objectives have been modified. This strategic plan is accompanied by an implementation scheme that comprises specific duties to be implemented according to a timeline/ schedule over the five-year plan. The University has also defined a set of performance indicators to be used as measures to assess the extent of implementation and redirecting the corrective actions when necessary.
