As one of the United States’ leading and most influential universities, Drexel has a history steeped in experiential learning, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement. Located in one of the largest cities in the U.S. — Philadelphia, PA — Drexel's students pursue an innovative education in a city that offers numerous cultural, historical, and social opportunities. Philadelphia is famous for its restaurants, and hosts teams for major professional sports. Situated halfway between New York City and Washington, D.C., and close to Baltimore, New Jersey beaches, and the Pocono mountains, it is the perfect city to study and learn about the United States.
Drexel’s campus is part of a thriving student and scholar community. Visiting students have access to a wide variety of course options in a number of top-ranked academic programs, and co-curricular activities provide further educational, social, and cultural opportunities. Visiting students are encouraged to participate in out-of-the-classroom activities and become involved with student organizations to make the most out of their time at Drexel. Your time at Drexel, personally and academically, will be an unforgettable and transformative experience.
