College of Arts and Sciences
Drexel University prides itself on practical application of knowledge, thus it is no surprise that research is an integral part of the Drexel education. As a Drexel graduate student, you are expected to contribute to your field, and we have the tools and resources to help you do it.
Our Faculty
Learn from a community of active research professionals whose findings are featured in internationally recognized publications and at top conferences.
Our Facilities and Research Opportunities
Our facilities include the Lynch Observatory, which houses the largest telescope in Philadelphia, several Beowulf computer clusters, and a newly equipped analytical chemistry laboratory.
In 2011 a new 130,000-square-foot sciences building will become home to Drexel's bioscience, nutrition, and environmental science research programs. The building will feature an innovative five-story biowall, utilizing a variety of plants to filter and purify the indoor air.
Research opportunities extend beyond the Drexel campus. Bioscience students may choose to study terrapin turtles in Barnegat Light, New Jersey, or leatherback turtles in Costa Rica, while Clinical Psychology students receive training at a number of healthcare sites throughout the Delaware Valley.
Our Funding
Research contract and grant awards and expenditures for the University exceed $100 million.
Your program may offer research assistantships or fellowships. Be sure to review the college funding page and contact your department for application requirements.
