Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry was established in 1891, by Anthony J. Drexel, a Philadelphia financier and philanthropist who envisioned an institution of higher learning that suited the needs of a growing industrial society. Initially, it was a non-degree granting institution and began conferring Bachelor of Science degrees in 1914. It was in 1927, that the Drexel University was granted the privilege to confer Master of Science degrees and in 1965, the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. After undergoing two name changes over the years, the school was named Drexel Institute of Technology in 1936 and Drexel University in 1970. All the university’s academic programs have the highest level of accreditation that is appropriate to their respective disciplines. More than 19,500 students are enrolled in Drexel University’s various programs at the Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctoral and professional degrees (including M.D. and J.D.). The main campus is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and other smaller campuses in downtown Philadelphia, East Falls as well as plans for a new campus in Roseville, California. The school also has an online branch that was started in 1996.
