"I highly enjoyed my experience at Drexel University. I found the environment to be overly friendly, helpful and positive. I would recommend Drexel to anyone looking for career change. The additional bonus of being able to complete a Masters Degree while working for the University is a benefit that everyone should take advantage of if they are able to do so. Drexel also offers many opportunities to get involved outside of you 9-5 job."
