Offering a variety of graduate programs at the master's and doctoral levels, the College of Arts and Sciences combines coursework in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences with an emphasis on new and emerging technologies.
Faculty are at the forefront of a wide range of fields; programs feature experiential learning and research opportunities that prepare students for competitive placement in a variety of careers.
Many programs are offered on a full-time or part-time basis, and competitive funding is available in most programs. Master's students in select programs may also choose to take advantage of Graduate Co-op — a period of employment that enables you to build your résumé with valuable experience. Students who work full-time can pursue a Graduate Co-op experience with their present employer's cooperation.
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.
