co-op and quarter system

Many people come here for the co-op program, (including myself). Many schools offer credit for internships, but here it is required and emphasized. We have a class that prepares us for our co-op.

This allows you to learn more material because you are taking on more courses within a year. The drexel co-op program allows you to take two quarters off from learning to spend six months working a full-time industry job within your major. This is great because drexel students will have full-time work expirence before they graduate.

Drexel is very career oriented. Most of the programs have built in interships and pretty much everyone who goes here has a very clear idea of what they want to do after school. They might not seem it on the surface, but everyone here is very determined and driven.
