Several certificate programs are also available.
Amongst the incoming students are participants in Drew’s Dual-Degree programs, which allows students to earn an undergraduate and graduate degree at an accelerated pace—saving time and money. Drew offers Dual-Degree programs in Data Science, Divinity, Finance, Medical Humanities, Religion, Teaching, and Theology & Ministry.
Many of Drew’s graduate programs are offered fully online or in a hybrid modality, allowing for a global presence within the student body. Community events are offered in hybrid modalities to allow community building from students’ locations across the globe.
“Drew University’s unique and varied academic offering, together with our growing online presence and global student representation, truly makes Drew a graduate home to many across the word,” said Executive Director of Graduate Admissions Kevin D. Miller T’03,’08. “Whether our students choose to live on or near our beautiful campus in Madison, New Jersey, or from their homes across the country or world, Drew is able to provide the resources for academic growth and community support.”
International Theological School master’s students who have not graduated from a university in the U.S. are required to participate in Drew’s REACH program. Offered in-person and online, the program helps students develop skills for effective critical thinking, writing, and discussion, engage in shared worship experiences, and archival research related to ministry.
