Global Engagement and Education Abroad
Internationalizing the Drexel experience by studying or working abroad allows students to gain a unique perspective of the world, expand their world view, become more marketable in the professional world, and develop new strengths! For many students, the study abroad experience is made possible because of donors who invest in scholarships to help students choose co-ops and study around the world. To see where students can (and alumni have) traveled through Drexel’s study abroad program, check out our interactive map!
