The College of Computing & Informatics' educational and research programs integrate information technology, information content, organizational forces, and business strategy to prepare professionals to provide information services and systems to a wide variety of institutions.
Classes are offered on a full- or part-time basis and in a variety of formats; most programs are offered both on-campus and online. Professional development programs are offered in diverse areas, and students pursuing master's degrees may also choose to participate in Practicum or Graduate Co-op.
Drexel's College of Computing & Informatics has long been recognized as a leader in the field of information science and technology and offers graduate programs at the certificate, master's, and doctoral levels, including post-bachelor's and post-master's certificates.

Drexel is undertaking a bold Academic Transformation designed to align our distinctive strengths, academic structure, and strategic goals with our mission to prepare students for success in a rapidly evolving world. As part of this multi-year initiative, we will transition to a semester calendar, restructure several Colleges and Schools, and bolster our curriculum to better reflect the needs of today’s learners and tomorrow’s leaders. While these changes may lead to updates in academic programs, they are not expected to significantly disrupt students’ current plans of study. Every aspect of this transition is being carefully planned to ensure continuity, with a strong commitment to supporting students throughout the process.
