The School of Public Health is located in the heart of Philadelphia, birthplace of the United States. Rich in social, cultural and national history, Philadelphia is a unique collection of neighborhoods and home to a broad variety of ethnic cultures. It is a major city, but manageable in size and offering an affordable cost of living.
In addition, Philadelphia is centrally located between New York City and Washington, D.C., each easily accessible via mass transit.
The city has a storied public health history that can be explored as part of the course offerings at the School
of Public Health. Philadelphia also boasts one of the oldest, and most comprehensive, Public Health departments of any major U.S. city.
Philadelphia also has an array of cultural and culinary treasures to enjoy outside of the classroom, including new professional sports stadiums, such as Citizens Bank Park, home of the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies.
While it is easy to enjoy Philadelphia's urban setting, you can quickly travel to nearby country sites like the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania's farm country and the many relaxing beach towns along the Atlantic coasts of New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
Drexel University itself offers major concerts, lectures and other events and activities, as well as Division I athletics.
