About
From Drake University
Drake University is a medium sized university—which means you will benefit from the best advantages of a school that that feels both "big" and "small" at the same time. Drake offers over 150 undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate degrees in 7 different colleges—but you'll still have small classes and professors who know your name. Students can dive into their major from day 1—or explore their options. It is common for students to graduate with more than one degree (and on time in four years)! Over 92% of Drake students develop a resume with more than one internship and in 2020, 95.5% of graduates found a job or were accepted into graduate school (even in the midst of a global pandemic).
Drake's offers a vibrant urban campus just five minutes from downtown Des Moines, Iowa—one of the fastest growing cities in the midwest! Students enjoy access to world-class internships, 150+ student activities, Division I athletics, global travel opportunities, and a gorgeous park-like campus.
