Drexel Sponsored Programs
There are several types of Drexel sponsored programs. Each has aspects that make the experience unique and enriching.
Exchange programs
Immerse students fully in the host university life and culture, taking courses with local students, local faculty, and participating in campus activities. Exchange programs offer the widest range of course options because students may select directly from the course catalog of the host university. In addition to sending students, Drexel also welcomes incoming exchange students from our international partners.
Free standing programs
Designed specifically for study abroad purposes. Courses are taken by students from Drexel and other American universities. Because the programs are catered specifically for study abroad students (rather than locals) courses usually include field trips and site visits to utilize the city as an integral part of the learning experience. Select list of courses are offered.
Study Tours
Offer the opportunity to have an international academic experience in a short period of time (generally 7 — 10 days). Study tours are normally led by a Drexel faculty director, in conjunction with an on campus course before and/or after the tour. Study tours include activities such as guest lectures, industry visits, and other hands on events that transform the city into a living laboratory.
Even students who already have a country or program in mind are strongly encouraged to review the full list of Drexel sponsored programs. Often students will study abroad in locations they never imagined after fully exploring the options available.
