Drexel BIOMED has pushed the boundaries of science and technology for more than half a century. Our mission is to promote health and quality of life through education, research and innovation. Our faculty actively collaborate with international partnerships all over the world. Below, we highlight two of our international programs:

International Students Tackling Advanced Research (STAR) Program

The iSTAR program provides an opportunity for you to participate in faculty-mentored paid-research, scholarship, or creative work during the summer in an international setting, while broadening your cultural horizons in China, Israel, Italy, Spain, Scotland, Australia, and Turkey.

Study Abroad & Exchange Programs
