Your academic advisers in Drexel’s College of Arts and Sciences are dedicated to the “Drexel difference” – offering individualized attention and steadfast support as undergraduate students navigate their academic journey. Whatever your educational path may be, your adviser serves as a liaison across Drexel University, clarifying policies and procedures and advocating for students as they adjust to college-level academics. In addition, our advisers will guide you through your coursework and ensure that you are connected to the correct offices across the university from your first year until graduation.
