About Drexel University

Drexel University was founded in 1891 as the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry by Philadelphia financier and philanthropist Anthony J. Drexel to provide educational opportunities in the “practical arts and sciences” for women and men of all backgrounds. One of the premier technological universities in the world and a leader in curricular innovation, Drexel was the first university to require all entering students to have microcomputers.

Its programs are consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report among the “Best” in the fields of Business, Education, Engineering, and Library Science. Located in downtown Philadelphia, a short walk from the University of Pennsylvania and several historic landmarks, Drexel offers a great destination for students attending the Digital Media Academy summer camps.
