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.

2024 Graduation Information

Save the Date! Peirce College’s 2024 Commencement Ceremony is scheduled for Friday, June 7th, 2024.

This year's Peirce Commencement 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 is available here for graduates that answers many Commencement-related questions.

Tickets for Guests

Graduates will receive five (5) tickets for guests to attend the ceremony. If additional tickets are available we will let you know and provide you an opportunity to request an additional ticket.

We will email you a ticket request form which includes a question about the number of tickets requested for those who plan to attend in person. Please note you will not be able to request your tickets until all financial obligations have been met. 

Regalia

Regalia ordering is now open at https://herff.ly/peirce. Ordering will close on May 6. Instructions are available here.

You must purchase a cap and gown before May 6 to participate in Commencement. Please contact Mary Grassia at mgrassia@peirce.edu with any questions.

If you are receiving two different degrees or certificates, purchase regalia for the highest degree you have earned and attend the ceremony for that degree.
