Drexel’s College of Arts and Sciences centers on a straightforward idea: that the most difficult, complicated and consequential problems we face in society—including climate change, political polarization and violent crime—involve both the natural world and the humans who live within it. We need expertise in STEM, the social sciences and the humanities to solve these problems. The College of Arts and Sciences is a leader in community-based learning, experiential learning, and civic engagement. Our immersive curricula—from politics to physics, English to biology, and history to mathematics—not only help students master these disciplines but teaches them to adeptly combine areas of knowledge to create solutions for today’s challenges.
We seek partners who share our passion and vision. Your investment in the College of Arts and Sciences will empower us to realize our most significant potential and put your stamp on future generations. Every gift—$5 or $50,000—profoundly and immediately impacts our students. Help shape the vision of our college by investing in Drexel’s intellectual foundation.
