Drexel University
Drexel University is a private research university with its main campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Drexel's undergraduate school was founded in 1891 by Anthony J. Drexel, a financier and philanthropist. Founded as Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry, it was renamed Drexel Institute of Technology in 1936, before assuming its current name in 1970. The medical school which Drexel acquired in 1993 was founded in 1850 (and originally known as Female Medical College of Pennsylvania) changed its name in (a) 1867 to Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania and (b) 1970 to Medical College of Pennsylvania (when it decided to admit men). The medical school merged in 1993 with Hahnemann Medical College, which was founded in 1867. As of 2020, more than 24,000 students were enrolled in over 70 undergraduate programs and more than 100 master's, doctoral, and professional programs at the university. Drexel's cooperative education program (co-op) is a prominent aspect of the school's degree programs, offering students the opportunity to gain up to 18 months of paid, full-time work experience in a field relevant to their undergraduate major or graduate degree program prior to graduation.
