Drew University
Drew University is so much more than a place to earn your degree. It’s where you’ll meet some of your closest friends. Get connected to life-changing mentors. Learn in ways that could take you around the globe, or straight into the real world of professional life, meaningful community action, and leading social change.
As a Drew student, you can choose from 40+ majors, 60+ minors, 18 Dual-Degree programs, and 17 pre-professional programs. And you’ll graduate with a purpose – not to mention the skills employers are looking for, and an experience-based résumé that ties everything together.
As for our location, it’s hard to beat: Madison, NJ, is a picture-perfect small town that’s only an hour from all the opportunities of NYC. On campus, you’ll find 90+ clubs and organizations, 26 NCAA Division III athletic teams, and every kind of event (from fun festivals to TEDx). Drew puts you everywhere you want to be.

Additional Information
Drew professors are there to mentor, debate, challenge, and inspire you. They care—about you and your learning. And they’ll help you build your network of academic, career, and personal advisors who will guide you along your path to graduation and beyond.
Every Drew student participates in at least two experiences to build their résumé and explore their interests. (For example: our one-of-a-kind New York City Semesters. You could find yourself working on Wall Street, at the United Nations, with media giants, alongside grassroots organizers, in the contemporary art world, or on the theatre scene.)
We also offer a variety of study abroad programs, from full semesters to just a few weeks. If science is your thing, you’ll have exceptional opportunities for advanced research in Drew’s Summer Science Institute and Research Institute for Scientists Emeriti (RISE) programs.
Drew is all about big experiences and bold futures (yours). Learn more at drew.edu.

I did research over two summers and during each semester, built a research proposal and created a scholarship paper. I worked with about six Drew faculty members on this, a lot of individualized attention. I got the scholarship and had a lot of support from Drew to do so.
