The College of Engineering collaborates with external partners to develop a wide range of academic program options. For colleges and universities, we design programs to fit many needs – undergraduate transfer, early admission, dual-degree and accelerated master’s programs, as well as graduate certificates tailored to the needs of industry and government stakeholders. We work with schools near Drexel University in Philadelphia and all over the world.
For corporate and industry partners, we have experience designing specialized graduate certificate programs to fill a knowledge gap in a specific engineering discipline or to provide up-to-the-minute technical training.
Industrial and Corporate Partnerships
Customized post-bachelor certificate programs designed for our academic partners typically consist of 4 – 6 courses selected to build certain skills and fill in skills gaps. Once complete, credits may be applied to a master’s degree program in engineering. Some current partners include Baltimore Gas and Electric (BG&E), Lockheed Martin, and the Naval Air Warfare Center.
For industry partners please visit our Industrial Academic Partnership page.

International Education Partners for Master's Degree Programs
Drexel Engineering collaborates with academic partners in India to offer graduate transfer and early admissions programs. Transfer programs allow the student to shorten the length of time as a student at Drexel University to obtain a master’s degree and receive their degree in one year. For these programs, interested students work with the admissions counselor to ensure they meet the criteria for each program type.
3+1+1 Accelerated BS/MS/ Degree Program
-
Futurense / Jain University
This program allows students to apply for early admission to one of the MS programs at Drexel Engineering. Students that are accepted in the program spend the final year of their bachelor’s program at Drexel University where they will take courses to complete their BS degree while also taking graduate classes that will count towards the MS program. Undergraduate students in their junior year apply for this program. For more information about how this program works visit our 3+1+1 program page, or contact Neha Gera, Futurense Project Manager at neha.gera@futurense.com.
