Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Harcum College rose from 0 to 2. The increase shows up in Burglary (0 to 1) and Rape (0 to 1).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Harcum College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Burglary and Rape.
The remaining 9 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Fondling and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Harcum College sits on price and outcomes
At $24,776, Harcum College's reported average net price is cheaper than 71% among 261 Pennsylvania colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,954.

- Pennsylvania median

- six-year earnings to median debt
- $17,389
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $21,881, while those above $110,000 record $39,270 - roughly 1.8 times as much. A published average of $24,776 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six-year median earnings of $37,871 run about 1.5 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here. Only 41% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
