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, Higher Ed Dive found that the estimated median lifetime earnings for an individual with a bachelor’s degree is $400,000 more than those with no college. It’s important to note that every University has their own outcomes, learn more about the value of a Drexel education today.
