Commencement Is a BIG Deal at Peirce College

For many of our students, earning a college degree is a milestone they never thought possible. Walking across the stage in June are sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, grandparents, employees, managers and more. Our students aren’t just students at Peirce. They are people from all walks of life, with wide-ranging goals and responsibilities, but they have one thing in common – they have achieved their goal of completing a college education. They are PROUD, and we are honored to have been their college of choice.

2025 Graduation Information

Save the date! Peirce College’s 2025 commencement ceremony will be held on Friday, June 6, 2025.

This year's ceremony will be held at the Miller Theater (formerly the Merriam Theater), located at 250 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia. Live streaming options will be available on the College's YouTube channel for those who are unable or who would prefer not to attend in person.

All graduates will participate in one ceremony, scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. The doors will open for graduates and guests 60 minutes before the start of the ceremony.

An FAQ will be developed for graduates that answers many Commencement-related questions. Please keep an eye out for this document to be shared via email and on this page.

Tickets for Guests

Graduates will receive tickets for their guests to attend the ceremony. The number of tickets each graduate receives will depend on the total number of participants. This will be communicated to graduates closer to the ceremony date.

Regalia

Regalia ordering will open in March at https://herff.ly/peirce and be available through May. Instructions for how to order regalia will be provided.

You must purchase a cap and gown before to participate in Commencement. Please contact Mary Grassia at mgrassia@peirce.edu with any questions.

If you are receiving two different degrees or certificates, you will purchase regalia for the highest degree you have earned.
