challenges and find solutions.

Research at Drexel is driven by the University’s

faculty and students from all disciplines and at every level
of experience. Most graduate programs even offer extensive,
collaborative research options. Graduate students at Drexel work
closely with their professors, mentors, and fellow students to test
established methodologies and explore new ideas, then have the
chance to match concept to practice in laboratories, neighborhood
classrooms, nursing centers, and more.

Taking advantage of our vast professional network of brands,

employers, and Dragon alumni, students can develop relationships
and make meaningful connections with leaders across various
industries. Plus, some of our graduate programs offer the opportunity
to participate in our cooperative education program, known as Drexel
Co-op (also available for international students in select master’s
degree programs). Drexel Co-op enables students to test-drive careers
through up to six months of résumé-enhancing work experience
before they graduate.

No matter the path, graduate students at Drexel use new and

innovative approaches as they collaborate with experts in their fields
through research endeavors, special projects, and more. Drexel is a
community of students, faculty, and professional staff from around
the world who will challenge you and help you advance.
 Our Graduate Community

that gives our students the advantage of pursuing an education
in a city that offers them numerous cultural, historical, and social
opportunities. The city serves as an extension of our campus, where
students can build strong connections with respected businesses,
nonprofits, research facilities, and agencies throughout our
community.

Located in the heart of the northeastern United States, Philadelphia

offers close proximity and strong ties to New York City and
Washington, D.C., enabling students to easily explore different
American cities and expand their professional networks.
