Eastern's Main Campus

Thanks to the generous patrons of the Eastern University Music Gala and an anonymous donor, the Music Department purchased a famous Steinway Concert Grand Piano from Edith Finton Rieber. Having a piano of this caliber enhances the instruction and the performance quality for our students. Read more on the History of Philadelphia's Most Revered Piano.

Workman Hall is entirely dedicated to the Music Department. In addition to this historic building, there are many resources available to all Music Department students. Those resources are 2 Steinway Concert Grand Pianos, 8 Grand Pianos, 7 Upright Pianos, a Keyboard Lab, an Electronic Music Studio with 10 iMac workstations that include digital samplers with Sibelius notation, Digital Performer MIDI sequencing/digital audio software, an Extensive CD Library and Extensive online resources through the Warner Library.

Repeatedly ranked among the most beautiful Christian colleges in the world, Eastern University has been consistently honored as a top Christian University located in Pennsylvania.  EU boasts of a safe, welcoming community of students, faculty and staff.  EU’s main campus offers multiple residence halls and academic buildings with amenities to accommodate its approximately 1,700 undergraduate students.  

While Eastern’s diverse student body regularly utilizes a full arsenal of residence life options, it is worthwhile to note the compliment of academic resources for EU students including the historic Warner Library adjacent to the Howard Harold Center, the fully-renovated McInnis Learning Center, Workman Hall for Music Majors, Andrews Hall and Bradstreet Observatory and Planetarium.  Warner Library provides students plenty of study space, access to 65,000 periodical titles in paper and electronic format, 870,000+ microform items, and over 60,000 full text e-journals, including the most current and popular academic journals and resources.  While students can access Eastern’s professors’ 360 publications and 280 articles in Warner, most students would much rather interact in person with our prestigious but accessible faculty.  A 11:1 student-professor ratio means plenty of personal attention and mentoring for every student.

Nearby Philadelphia

Eastern University is situated just outside the historic, urban metropolis of Philadelphia.  Philly is a diverse city which evinces all of the benefits of a major urban center and provides unique learning for current EU students.  Previously recognized by USA Today, Philadelphia and its suburbs are considered one of the top ten college communities in the USA.  Philadelphia offers the Eastern student access to robust internship, volunteer, work, and social opportunities.  These opportunities translate to an competitive edge for Eastern students who can be applying what they learn in the classroom into an everyday situation through volunteer work and internships.  Many Eastern students will take the train from the St. Davids station (located adjacent to campus) and be in the city within 20 minutes.  As an aside current students will also take advantage of Philadelphia’s vast music scene, iconic Fine and Performing Arts, and cheer on all the major professional sports.
