My school is best known for its co-op program. The co-op program is usually a set of 3 (6 month) internships as a full-time employee at a company. You gain real world experience and build valuable connections while on each co-op.

Drexel is best known for career geared programs including engineering and nursing. Drexel is committed to providing its students with as much opportunity to enter the work force with success as it is to succeed academically. Drexel offers 5 year co-op programs to several majors, allowing students the opportunity to get real life work experience in the field of their major. Drexel also offers accelerated programs for students going for their second bachelors. It is these accelerated programs where Drexel truly shines, as they offer excellent education opportunities to working students.

I would not recommend Drexel if you like to take your time. Becaeuse of the quarter system time goes really fast and you really need to pay attention and study from day one. Furhtermore

When I tell people that I attend Drexel University's nursing school they are almost always taken aback. Drexel is seen as strictly engineering. Some even believe there is no point in going to Drexel unless you are in engineering. However, if I could give prospective students advice I would tell them not to be discouraged by Drexel's image and reputation as an engineering school. Although it may not be known for nursing, Drexel's nursing students graduate with the highest first-time pass rates on the NCLEX, the nursing boards, than any other school in the state.

Jemise

Drexel University is known for its cooperative experience program. Through this program, students are able to find and obtain real jobs in their majors. By working at these jobs during the school year, we have a better understanding of what we will want to do when we graduate. We will also have the work experience.

Christopher

Drexel is best known for the co-op program which allows students to get real world experience while still in school.
