The College of Engineering

Accelerated Programs/ Bachelor’s/Master’s Dual Degree Program
The Accelerated Program of the College of Engineering provides opportunities for highly talented and strongly motivated students to progress toward their educational goals essentially at their own pace. Primarily through advanced placement, credit by examination, flexibility of scheduling, and independent study, the program makes it possible to complete the undergraduate curriculum and initiate graduate study in less than the five years required by the standard curriculum. Students enrolled in this program may take advantage of the five-year Bachelor’s/Master’s Dual Degree Program described on the College of Engineering's Accelerated: B.S./M.S. web page.

Lincoln University/Drexel 3-3 Plan
Drexel participates in a program with Lincoln University under which a student may attend Lincoln University for three years, taking liberal arts subjects and pre-engineering courses in mathematics, science, and related areas; transfer to Drexel; and receive a degree in engineering after three additional years at Drexel. This is similar to the conventional 3-2 program in which other colleges and universities participate; the extra year is necessitated by Drexel’s co-operative education plan.   

Indiana University of Pennsylvania/Drexel Plan
Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University have established a co-operative engineering program to increase the opportunities for young men and women from rural Pennsylvania to pursue careers in engineering. The program combines two years of study at the state-owned university with three years of study as part of the Drexel Plan of Co-operative Education.


Pre-Professional Programs
The College of Engineering offers Master of Science programs in engineering management and software engineering, and master’s and Ph.D. programs in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, materials engineering, and mechanical engineering. An Advanced Certificate in Engineering is also offered. For additional information, consult the graduate catalog or contact the graduate division of the College of Engineering.

Students wishing to prepare for admission to professional schools of law or medicine may obtain preprofessional counseling and assistance in making application from the Office of Preprofessional Programs, 215-895-2437.
