Part-Time Students
We offer part-time undergraduate academic options to complete degrees online and on-campus.
What Is a Part-Time Student?
Part-time students are those who are permitted to schedule a maximum of 11.5 undergraduate credits per quarter at Drexel. These students could be pursuing an undergraduate degree, a continuing adult/professional education program or certificate, or taking classes as a non-matriculated student.
Non-matriculated students are those who are allowed to take certain courses but are not enrolled in a degree-seeking program. Note that these students can be on the non-matriculated path towards eventually transferring into a degree-seeking program, taking courses so that they can earn credit in prerequisites needed for future plans, or simply be pursuing a lifetime of learning and taking courses for their own enjoyment.
