Co-op Facts & Stats

Celebrating 100 Years of Cooperative Education

When Anthony J. Drexel founded Drexel University, he insisted that students would be prepared for their post-graduate careers. That’s why in 1919, the College of Engineering launched a cooperative education program that would balance classroom theory with real world practice. This program has expanded over the last century, covering more than 75 different disciplines and creating national recognition for Drexel as one of the most comprehensive co-op programs available today.

Co-op provides more than knowledge. The unique design of this program creates an environment where students not only thrive, but become visionary leaders. By learning from experts tackling today’s most complex problems, students can make a real-world impact one co-op at a time.
