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.

Committed to becoming the nation's most civically engaged university, Drexel supports 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.

At Drexel, we are devoted to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment that promotes healthy lifestyles and is based on integrity, trust, and respect.

We center equity, inclusion and belonging, and incorporate an anti racism approach to our strategic plan, organizational systems, policies and structures.

Drexel offers its highly engaged faculty and professional staff a comprehensive and world class benefits package that includes generous vacation and paid time off as applicable (including civic engagement days), up to an 11% 403(b) Retirement Plan match with immediate vesting, and remote and flexible work options for many roles.

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.
