Why Attend College?
A college education is an investment in you and your future. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, college-educated individuals earn more and find greater economic success in their futures. In fact, Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce found that the bachelor’s degree holders earn 84% more than those who have only earned a high school diploma, and that an undergraduate degree is worth approximately $2.8 million on average over a lifetime. It’s important to note that every University has their own outcomes; learn more about the value of a Drexel education today.
