Unique Features

Our goal at Drexel is to prepare you for your career of choice through quality and innovation.  As a Professional Studies student, you will experience the Drexel Difference through…

Flexible Scheduling
In line with Drexel’s long-standing tradition of helping working adults earn their degree while keeping up with other responsibilities, the Professional Studies program offers classes and advising during day and evening hours.  For added convenience, this degree is also available through Drexel Online. 

Degree-Completion Format
The degree-completion format of the Professional Studies program allows you to maximize your credit earned for prior coursework and previous learning. The credits you have earned or certificates you have received at other institutions will be evaluated by your advisor. You may also receive credit for prior learning through transfer agreements with other colleges and universities, the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and portfolio assessments.

A Creative Approach
With creativity theory and practice as an integral part of the Professional Studies curriculum, you will learn to apply these principles to enhance your individual, team, and organizational performance.  The creativity component built into the Professional Studies degree is unique to Drexel, home of The Drexel/Torrance Center for Creative Studies and headquarters of the American Creativity Association.
