About Drexel University

Located in the heart of Philadelphia, Drexel University is a world-class, comprehensive, R1 research institution and a global leader in experiential education. For more than 100 years, our renowned Cooperative Education (co-op) program has enabled students to gain professional work experience before they graduate, setting them apart from their peers.

Drexel is deeply committed to civic engagement and supports such engagement along three dimensions: research and academic programs that directly benefit communities, business practices that support equitable local and regional economic development, and public service by students, faculty, and staff. Our engagement is long-term, multigenerational, and fundamental to the University's mission, heritage, and future.

Anthony J. Drexel founded the Drexel Institute to provide educational opportunities in the “practical arts and sciences” for people of all backgrounds. In 1891, the Institute made no restrictions on religion, race, gender, or socioeconomic status. Today, we continue to strive for Drexel to be a place where all, regardless of background, are welcome and have the educational opportunities to thrive and succeed. Through our shared values, we are devoted to fostering an accepting, egalitarian and supportive community that promotes healthy lifestyles and is based on integrity, trust, and respect.

Our exceptional medical plans include domestic partner and fertility assistance and our award-winning A Healthier U wellness program. In addition, faculty and professional staff at Drexel enjoy free tuition for themselves and their dependents for Drexel degree programs, certification, and non-certification programs. And as part of the tuition offering to employees, Drexel participates in a tuition exchange program for dependents with other higher education institutions. These are just a sample of our extensive benefit offerings. Please see this Benefits Brochure for more information.
