Cairn University, located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, sits on a suburban campus approximately 25 miles northeast of Philadelphia. Founded in 1913 as Philadelphia Bible Institute, this private Christian university maintains its biblical foundation while offering undergraduate and graduate programs across five schools.
