Outcomes Overview
Drexel graduates earn a median of $84,648 ten years after graduation, putting them ahead of most college graduates nationally. The typical monthly loan payment of $268 represents just 3.8% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. With 95.2% of graduates employed and a strong presence in engineering, business, and healthcare fields, Drexel's co-op program clearly pays dividends in the job market. The median debt of $25,325 is reasonable given earning potential. Many graduates land positions at major corporations where they completed co-ops, creating a direct pipeline from classroom to career. This represents a strong return on investment for most students.
