“I’ve found my classes in this degree to be relevant, helpful in my current job, and packed full of information I’ll need for a variety of library work. I have had a high level of satisfaction with the classes I’ve taken through Drexel and the quality of interaction with professors and fellow students.”

“Through Drexel University Online, I was able to accomplish my lifelong dream of becoming a librarian. While there were programs a few hours away, they did not offer the intellectual challenges or freedom from classroom time constraints that Drexel’s program does.”
