The Communications Toolkit

Drew provides epic opportunities, connections, and experiences through a holistic, 360-degree approach. Small class sizes allow for a more personal and customizable academic experience and deeper, more meaningful relationships with faculty and mentors. No matter your program of study, as a student you will reap the benefit of the Drew mix, exemplified by LAUNCH.

LAUNCH is Drew’s signature experience, actively connecting coursework and outside-the-classroom experiences ensuring every student graduates prepared for personal and professional success. It is the intentional integration of rigorous academics, networked mentorship, purposeful experiences, and a powerful community.

Every class you take, every experience you have, every connection you make–all with an eye on your future.

LAUNCH has four key pillars:

1. Rigorous Academics: A Drew student’s liberal arts experience is arrayed around in-depth exploration of areas of academic interest, determining post-college objectives, and launching a career trajectory by design. Students work with faculty in innovative, student centered learning environments and are inspired to connect educational experiences to post-college goals.

2. Networked Mentorship: All Drew students experience focused, team-based mentoring as the primary mechanism through which they explore their interests, passions, and aspirations and array their coursework and experiences toward achieving their goals.

3. Purposeful Experiences: Multiple, robust immersive experiences, on- and off- campus, are an intrinsic part of all Drew students’ learning experiences.

4. Powerful Community: Having chosen Drew for its rigorous academics, networked mentorships and purposeful experiences, students join a community in which those principles are valued, elevated and celebrated.

Rooted. Innovative. Courageous.

Commit to courageous Christianity. Live into ecological justice and social action. Change your church, your neighborhood, your city, your world. 

The next generation of faith leaders needs imagination and courage to constructively engage the challenges and opportunities of our age. This is built into how we do things. No matter your degree program, a Drew Theological School education includes interdisciplinary courses that demand out-of-the-box thinking, apprenticeship training that addresses real-world issues and modes of learning that promote adaptability and innovation. We prepare students for the real world IN the real world.

Draw the Circle Wide. 

Our circle is wide. Our engagement is deep. We’re proud of our diverse, global, vibrant, open, and authentic community. Diversity is not a slogan. It’s our reality. Students, faculty, and staff pray, learn, sing, and travel together. Our community reflects the diversity, and we discover the challenges and rewards that go with it.
