Hey everyone! I recently heard someone mention Drexel State University in a conversation, and I'm having trouble finding any info on it online. Is this a real school or was it possibly a mix-up? I'm familiar with Drexel University but not Drexel State. Can anyone clear this up?
It sounds like there might have been a slight mix-up in terminology. Drexel University is indeed an accredited, highly ranked private institution located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It's particularly known for its cooperative education programs (co-ops) where students alternate between periods of full-time professional employment and classroom study, gaining real world experience while earning their degree.
On the other hand, the term "Drexel State University" is not recognized or associated with any known educational institution. It's possible the reference was an unintentional blending of Drexel University with a state university name. This could easily happen in conversation, but to confirm, there's no such place as Drexel State University.
