Class size is limited, insuring a high level of individual attention and interaction with faculty. In particular, all of the professional writing courses are limited to a maximum of 16 students.
Students begin their writing coursework in the first year of study.
Practicing professional writers teach courses and interact with students on a regular basis, maintaining the currency of the program. All students complete a senior project of professional scope to prepare them for the practical and creative challenges they will face in the field. Students are continually encouraged to develop individual styles of expression through experience with a diverse range of forms and subjects. Drexel University is located in Philadelphia, a major, national media center. The city's own activities as well as those of nearby New York and Washington provides students with the opportunity to interact and take part in a rich array of cultural, cinematic and theatrical offerings.
