Experience Beyond the Classroom

In today's competitive job market, employers look for standout candidates who offer a solid college education and professional experience. You may know what you need to do academically. But how do you get that critical work experience? We have the answer.

At Drexel, you combine classroom studies with hands-on learning through Drexel Co-op: "The Ultimate Internship". Drexel Co-op is an extraordinarily valuable and flexible enhancement to your studies, is a requirement in most undergraduate majors. Depending on your major, you can graduate with up to 18 months of experience gained in up to three different six-month co-op experiences.

You will work for top employers, learning how to network and develop professional contacts, and by the time you graduate, you will have already proved your potential. While on co-op, you have the chance to use the material you learn in class, and to experience your chosen career before you graduate--to make sure it is right for you!

A range of other career services offered by Drexel's Career Management Center complements Co-op opportunities. These services include resume reviews, individual counseling, on-campus interviews, an alumni network, and skills assessment programs.
