Undergraduate Programs
Make a Difference in Tomorrow's World
The School of Education’s undergraduate programs are designed for individuals who are interested in becoming certified teachers at the pre-school, elementary, middle and secondary levels.
Drexel University's Education program is unique in that it is the only one in the nation that includes a co-op experience directly related to your major area of certification. In addition to the 12-week student teaching experience required for certification, School of Education students participate in diverse field experiences to prepare them for a career in teaching.
