The Office of International Programs"Global Drexel"
Drexel University brings an international dimension to university life through a number of initiatives from academic majors and study or work abroad to major research projects, international cooperative agreements, conferences, co-curricular programming, and cultural events. All of these initiatives reflect an awareness of today’s global challenges and opportunities in science and technology, politics and economics, society and culture. As the world has become increasingly internationalized, so have the demands for international knowledge production and problem-solving. Drexel recognizes this and the importance of positioning itself in the emerging global network of students and scholars. In order for Drexel to excel as a first-tier comprehensive university it must be a global university.
The Office of International Programs (OIP), under the Office of the Provost, brings leadership, strategic coordination, and institutional structure to the global dimension of the university. The OIP facilitates multidisciplinary international programs across the university by bringing together stakeholders in a Council of International Programs. It enhances the international education of Drexel’s colleges and other academic units through partnerships with carefully selected international universities, and promotes global awareness and visibility through a Global Research and Academic Network, International Travel Awards for faculty and graduate students, and student programming.
