A main strength of Pennsylvania College of Art & Design's curriculum is the diversity and experience of its faculty.

The college's faculty are working artists. They’re illustrators, designers, painters, sculptors, print makers, photographers, architects, and interior designers who maintain active client bases or exhibition schedules. They remain abreast of current trends in the art and business worlds, live the rigorous, exciting lifestyles of professional artists, and are able to communicate these perspectives to their students.
