Why Attend College?

A college education is an investment in you and your future. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, college-educated individuals earn more and find greater economic success in their futures. In fact, Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce found that the bachelor’s degree holders earn 84% more than those who have only earned a high school diploma, and that an undergraduate degree is worth approximately $2.8 million on average over a lifetime. It’s important to note that every University has their own outcomes; learn more about the value of a Drexel education today.

Is Drexel the Right School for You?

At Drexel, students build a strong foundation of knowledge under the guidance of our expert faculty while our dynamic cooperative education program, known as Drexel Co-op, provides them with opportunities to gain up to 18 months of real-world work experience with respected organizations from around the globe. This unique combination of advanced academics and real-world experience truly sets our students apart. Yet, the college experience isn’t all about academics and a future career, here at Drexel, our first-year Dragons are constantly getting involved in student life activities, making new friends from around the world, and enjoying everything the great city of Philadelphia has to offer.

Take a look at our first-year application instructions to acquaint yourself with the steps to apply. You’re also encouraged to explore our financial aid opportunities for undergraduate students. Don’t forget: Drexel offers three different admission plans: Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision.
