Founded in 1891 by financier and philanthropist Anthony J. Drexel, the university has several distinctions, including the world's first school of nursing, the nation's largest private medical college, and one of the most successful co-op education degree programs (est. 1919). Also known as Philadelphia's technological university, Drexel was the first major university to require all students to have microcomputers (1983-4), having a fully wireless campus (2000), and a wireless web portal for students (2002).

Studying online at Drexel you earn your degree while you earn a living. You can attend full-time or part-time, 100% online, without any need to commute to campus. You can take as many courses you want every term and complete courses at your own pace during each week. And, shorter than in most colleges, 10-week terms help you stay on track and complete your program.

Our highly committed faculty and staff engage students in frequent communication and provide academic counseling and technical support.

9. You save money
To begin with, prices for some of our online degree programs are lower than the same degree programs taught on campus. In addition, there are no application fees or campus-related university fees. And of course, you will save living and commuting expenses associated with face-to-face degree programs. You can also transfer credit from prior college studies and reduce your total tuition this way. Last, but not least, you may be eligible for special rates offered to students working for partnering employers, to graduates of partnering community colleges, and to Drexel alumni and returning students.

To become eligible for our Employer Tuition Reduction, talk to your Human Resources Department about joining our network of partners.

To become eligible for our Community College Tuition Reduction, talk to the Transfer Office at your community college about joining our network of community colleges.

10. And you save time
You can transfer credits from prior education and complete your degree earlier. You may also be able to have credit recognized for work experience through CLEP exams). And, as you can take as many courses as you want per quarter (subject to academic requirements such as pre-requisites), you may graduate even sooner!
