Drexel University Courses and Fees 2026

• It is not difficult especially for Indian students as we are familiar with cramming all the things for the exams(Here you have to just be with the time & follow the guidelines of the professor in order to get a good grade)
• Positive I personally think about the course is that even if you don't want to study or feeling less interested about any topic, they make it that way that you end up liking the topic)
• Negative is that for introverts, it is difficult to complete the course, as for my degree, there are lots of Team Projects & Class Activities that you have to take part in. So for some people that's a different challenge. You have to take 3 courses per quarter, so 3 Lectures per week. Generally lectures are of 3 hours(You get a short break in between). Generally, lecture timings are 9-12, 12-3, 3-6 & 6-9. It depends on you now which course you take & what time of the day it's offered, mostly 6-9 in the evening is the preferred time for everytime.
• The most number of students I have seen in my class is 15-17. The max strength never goes above 25 & even 15 for some Professors. There are actually many, but depends on the students of choosing which courses to study in a particular quarter, so even if you are doing same degree, they might be in some other class & you are in other class. But I have met 7-8 Indian students in my 1st quarter 

• Tuition Fees:

1360$/Credit(My Course is 45 credits, so around 60,000$ accordingly)
Tuition fees are to be paid quarterly, International Students are required to take minimum 3 courses per quarter, 1 Course is for 3 credits(for my Degree). So around 10k-12k Dollars per quarter(May be less if you get the scholarship)
 Fees structure is credit based, the more amount of Credit you register for, the more fees you have to pay.(Minimum 9 Credits per quarter for International Students*)

• Monthly Expenses:

 I am living Off-Campus & paying Rent around 800$(Including all the Utilities)
You may find cheaper ones but may be those are a bit far from the campus(You have to have a Bicycle or a Motorvehicle to transport if you go far)
Transportation Bus System is there but for limited routes(That works for Drexel Students for free on ID cards)
 Grocery expenses come around 100-150$ per month if you cook at home.(If you are an outside eater, it may cost a lot than this)
 I prefer walking & my residence is nearby college buildings so there is no transpiration cost for me(If you travel or go for a trip, you may require some money depending on how frequently you go, has a strong public transport structure though)

• Course curriculum is good, point to point, Coop opportunities are there, for grad students there are usually one or two classes depending on the professor

• On average $10,000 USD per quarter(Pretty expensive)

• The courses were difficult but explained in detail with practical labs, so they will be helpful in the job opportunities. I would say a positive aspect was class length (3 hours of class) and a negative aspect was the same 3-hour class, which felt like too much for the day or for the same class. so, for me, 2 classes a day or 1 class a day—it depends on courses and quarters. Number of students varies over courses, with a maximum of between 25 and 35 students per class or sometimes less to 20. There are around 10-15 Indian students in my course.

• Drexel University charges around $60,000 per year for tuition, billed quarterly at approximately $20,000 per term. Housing costs about $11,200 annually, and meals around $6,800. Including books, transportation, and personal expenses, the estimated monthly cost is about $2,300. Fees are charged on a per-term basis, not yearly or credit-based. Financial aid is widely available.

• People find houses from Zillow.com, Apartments.com. There are other reality groups that offer affordable housing options to students.
• There are also WhatsApp groups for Drexel Indian students who help in finding accommodation.
• Look fast; if you drag the time, houses fill up pretty quickly, and you will be left with an expensive one.

I liked the course curriculum and academics. But it is really hectic to be at Drexel University. A lot of assignments and exams and quizzes.

Around 60 lakhs

The course syllabus for Marketing was very similar. I found myself studying similar things in every class. Business Analytics was really informative and helpful, each class progressed and was mildly difficult to follow.

60000

I had to complete 180 credits. One class was usually 3-4 credits but there were classes that were 1-2 and sometimes 0 credit as well. I had full control over the range of classes I wanna sign up for which really helped me balance my courseload The faculty-Student ratio was on average 1:20.

Western Union was used as a medium to pay course fees usually via a check. It was pretty straightforward forward and the fee could also have been paid in person to the Cashier department in the Main Building I received a 100% scholarship for a 5 year 3 co-op program Other expenses include books, housing, food, and travel which comes to about 20-25lakhs INR in total

The course is updated each year according to industry requirements. You have subject selection flexibility and can also choose to do a minor. The course is 45 credits. Drexel follows a quarter system. So you mostly cover 9 credits each quarter for the first three and then take subjects according to your wish after that.

The fee calculation is per credit. For LeBow College of Business, it is $1139 per credit. You also pay an enrollment fee each quarter. If you are enrolled full-time for a particular quarter(full-time would mean 9 credits or more) it is $280. For quarters where you are enrolled part-time (like summer during internship or last quarter where you mostly have 3/6 credits left or any number of credits below 9), it is $140. So the fee for the full-time quarter with 9 credits is calculated as - (1139*9)+280= 10,531. The scholarship amount is awarded based on the number of credits you take in each quarter. It is evenly distributed according to it.

Being a technology major, I am exposed to some of the best and latest software out there. We were inspired to work in teams and figure out problems, sometimes to form our own company and find ways to improve technical things, new case studies by Harvard, etc. The interview process, applications, resumes, and building networking connections.

$75,000 is the program fee.

My syllabus and course curriculum is updated and relevant to my major. There is a lot of hands-on experience. I do wish there were more major-related courses and less core curriculum requirements.

Approximately $70,000 per year so a total of around $280,000.
