William Penn University is a liberal arts university affiliated with the Society of Friends. The university was founded by Quaker pioneers in 1873 to provide a quality education to all interested men and women regardless of race, creed, or socioeconomic status. One hundred and forty-two years later, William Penn remains devoted to this ideal. The university is firmly rooted in its Christian heritage, with certain characteristics distinctive to Quakers, but welcomes faculty, staff, and students from all faiths.
