Westphal’s academic advising team supports you from day one through graduation, helping you navigate course planning, degree requirements, and academic opportunities. Advisors work closely with students to align academic goals with career interests, co-op experiences, and life at Drexel.

Westphal students learn and create in professional-grade studios, labs, theaters, galleries, and maker spaces designed for hands-on, real-world work. From design studios and performance venues to cutting-edge production labs, our facilities mirror the environments you’ll encounter in creative industries.

Westphal provides dedicated technology support to ensure students have access to the tools, software, and systems they need to succeed. From specialized labs and equipment to technical assistance and training, our IT services help keep your creative work moving forward.

Student organizations at Westphal give you opportunities to connect, collaborate, and lead outside the classroom. Whether you’re joining a discipline-specific group, a creative collective, or a cultural organization, these communities help you build friendships, skills, and professional networks.
