Career Integrated Education (CIE)

Drexel University’s long tradition in the field of experiential learning has now been extended into many of its master’s programs in science, business, and engineering.

This option, called Career Integrated Education (CIE), provides students with the opportunity to gain work experience directly related to their career goals while earning academic credit. Students who have earned a minimum of 24 credits with a GPA of at least 3.0 are eligible to participate. Employment typically lasts six months, during which students enroll in a special 3 credit CIE course coinciding with their term of employment. Students gain work experience while earning salaries. It is important to note that the CIE program does not guarantee a job. It is a market-driven process for the candidates as well as employers. CIE provides the tools and contacts; the student must qualify for the job on the basis of merit, qualifications, and skills.

Further information on the CIE program is available at the Drexel Steinbright Career Development Center.
