What It's Like to Be an International Graduate Student at Drexel

Whether you choose to study on campus or online, you’ll have direct access to a large number of organizations here to help support and guide you along the way, starting with the office of International Students and Scholars Services (ISSS) whose staff help guide you from the visa process all the way through graduation. From the moment you officially become a Dragon, you'll find the Office of Graduate Studies to be one of your greatest resources, as they advocate for all graduate students through the lifecycle of their Drexel experience, along with developing academic, cultural, and social programming that enhances the entire graduate student community. Included in our more than 20 active graduate student organizations is the International Graduate Student Association (IGSA), which advocates for the interests of Drexel's international graduate student population and fosters our vibrant community of international students.

And if you who wish to improve your English language skills, The Graduate Preparation Program may be a great starting point for you here at Drexel. Housed in the English Language Center, this program prepares international students for the challenges of reading, writing, speaking, and listening in the American graduate environment.
