Academics

Drexel University strives to provide enriching educational opportunities that prepare students to thrive and flourish in a diverse world. To support that goal we encourage students to learn about, appreciate and value a variety of cultures, life experiences, and perspectives other than their own. Although Drexel University does not require all students to complete courses that focus on diversity or multiculturalism, we strongly encourage students to include such courses in their experience at Drexel. The Diversity & Multiculturalism Inventory is designed to help students locate topics that might be of interest by listing a wide range of courses which increase awareness of diversity, equity, and social justice issues both domestically and globally.

Students should work closely with their academic advisors to select courses that will fit with their educational goals and the requirements of their majors.
