To “get” Drew, you really need to see Drew—so pay us a visit! You can attend an Open House, schedule a campus tour, take a virtual tour, whatever works for you.
As a parent, you know that choosing the right college is an investment your entire family makes to propel your student into a bright future.
At Drew University, we know this, too. We believe in the kind of education that only a liberal arts college can deliver: intellectually ambitious, socially inclusive, individually responsive. Big experiences lead to bold futures.
Actively connecting coursework and outside-the-classroom experiences, Launch, Drew’s signature experience, ensures 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.
Drew is consistently named a Top Value/Best Buy college by The Princeton Review, U.S. News and World Report, Forbes, Washington Monthly, Kiplinger’s, and Fiske Guide to Colleges. Alumni see a great return on their investment with salaries in the top third nationwide 10 years after graduation according to the U.S. Department of Education.
At Drew, students don’t just learn—they apply. Our students are guaranteed at least two fully immersive, resume-ready experiences before they graduate. Hands-on research, internships, student-led projects, study abroad, and volunteer work help them build in-demand skills that prepare them for meaningful careers and long-term success.
Drew sets students up for success. Our faculty and staff mentors help guide and advise students to be accepted to and prepared for the graduate school programs of their dreams. Students can accelerate their degree through Drew’s 4+1 programs or a dual-degree partner graduate program.
Drew’s beautiful and serene campus in Madison NJ is less than an hour by train from NYC. Students can take advantage of our one-of-a-kind NYC Semesters at locations like Wall Street, the UN, or Broadway. It’s the best of all worlds.
“I am most grateful for how Drew was able to prepare me for how life is outside of the classroom and connect me with great alumni all over the nation. I was able to network and create connections allowing me to turn my internship into my career.”

Drew students have an incredible network of support—not just faculty mentors (who are there to advise, inspire, and challenge them) but also career, peer, and personal mentors. And that’s huge: It means that they leave Drew prepared for a world in which 85 percent of jobs are filled through networking.
Small enough to feel like family; expansive enough to welcome students from 35 states and 54 countries. Drew ranks #23 nationally on The Princeton Review’s list of Most Inclusive Colleges. It is a community that any student can feel at home in.
