Launch Your Future
There’s a reason Drew students advance to the top graduate schools, companies, and organizations across the country. The success they have connecting their experiences at Drew to their long term goals are made possible by our deep culture of mentoring by stellar faculty, the depth and breadth of our programs, and the support to schedule your launch from day one. Welcome to your future.
Prepare for Launch
Central to Launch—Drew’s comprehensive and customizable path towards student success—is your plan that will align undergraduate experiences with life and career readiness. Launch is your ticket to linking your purpose to a pathway and a powerful community of mentors.
Learn in Drew’s Forest.
Dominate New York City.
Our vibrant and diverse campus—we call it The Forest. You’ll see.—is a ten-minute walk from the Madison train station, which will take you directly into Manhattan’s Penn Station in under an hour. Our prime location in the powerhouse northeast corridor means easier access to opportunities—like those at myriad nearby corporate headquarters and pharmaceutical companies—as well as the experience and excitement of New York City.
Built into a Drew education are seven unique city semesters in New York. These programs take you into the city two days a week for out-of-classroom experiences that bring art, media, finance, international relations, theater, and grassroots organization to life. You’ll learn from experts in their fields and make connections that will change your perspective and launch your career.
