Application Timeline
Application Methods
👍 Great Fit If You Are:
Career-focused students
if you're eager to start working, build your résumé early, and connect directly with employers, Drexel’s co-op model is perfect.
Urban professionals-in-training
if you love the energy of a big city and want to learn in real-world environments, Philly is your classroom.
Self-managing learners
if you’re organized, proactive, and don’t need hand-holding, you’ll thrive in Drexel’s flexible but demanding structure.
Non-traditional or transfer students
Drexel accommodates varied backgrounds and paths; you don’t have to fit a single mold here.
Tech and design innovators
if you’re interested in game design, UX, digital media, or health tech, Drexel’s interdisciplinary strengths are powerful.
🚨 Not Ideal For:
Students seeking a classic college feel
Drexel has no central quad, limited campus culture, and a more commuter vibe.
Those who value downtime
the quarter system and co-op structure can make schedules intense and summers short.
Exploratory students
if you’re unsure about your direction, Drexel’s pre-professional tone may feel too narrowly focused.
Rural or nature-loving learners
the campus is urban and concrete-heavy; hiking trails and quiet lawns are hard to come by.
Traditional liberal arts seekers
while some programs exist, Drexel’s strength is in applied, career-oriented fields, not philosophy or classics.
