Drexel has over 300 clubs and organizations and 25 Greek fraternities/sororities to choose from! It is SO easy to get involved!

Drexel offers a co-op program: "Drexel Co-op is based on paid employment in practical, major-related positions consistent with the interests and abilities of participating students. The benefits are obvious—during their time at Drexel, students can experience up to three different co-ops. Because of this, Drexel students graduate having already built a professional network, and they typically receive higher starting salaries than their counterparts from other schools." 

Please note: Engaging in the 3 co-ops would require taking an additional year to complete your undergraduate degree.
