- Great Works
Symposium – This series of courses is designed to take an interdisciplinary
approach to a single subject, such as the Statue of Liberty, Frankenstein,
and the Brooklyn Bridge. Taught by professors from across the University,
as well as guest lecturers, and featuring special exhibits and film screenings,
these classes guarantee that you'll never look at a great work the same way
again.
- STAR Scholars –
Students Tackling Advanced Research (STAR) allows students to participate
in research projects in their field as early as the freshman year. Students
who take part in these research opportunities may be eligible for stipends
or academic credit for their work. The program also pairs students with
faculty mentors, who can answer questions or offer advice on an informal,
one-on-one basis.

an international perspective on your major and on life itself. With the Drexel
Study Abroad program, you can experience the world in programs that span
24 countries.
- Undergraduate Research Opportunities
– Research
projects are a valuable addition to many courses of study. At Drexel these
opportunities are extended to dedicated undergraduates. Research projects
are conducted in many of Drexel's colleges and schools, including the Colleges
of Engineering and Information Science and Technology.
- Writing Program – The
Writing Program was introduced to give students the opportunity to refine
their writing skills both in and out of the classroom. The program sponsors
writing classes and houses WITS, Writing Intensive Tutors, who can assist
students with all aspects of their written work, from term papers to fiction.
