Philadelphia’s Drexel University Online Degrees Among World’s Top 10

NEW YORK - Aug. 15, 2013 - PRLog -- Drexel University is rated eighth among over 500 hundred colleges and universities in the world offering online programs according to the BEST WORST ONLINE DEGREE PROGRAM PROVIDERS, 2013 edition.

Dr. Fred DiUlus, the author of the annual rating book since its first edition 11 years ago, states “We are in the middle of an online education revolution that is destined to turn higher education as we know it upside down. Drexel is definitely in the forefront.” The school’s commitment to online higher education dates from the early days in the mid-90’s when a decade ahead of most began seriously developing online protocols. The effort, according to DiUlus paid off as they are among the world’s leaders in online higher education and development.

Drexel University was founded in Philadelphia by Anthony J. Drexel in 1891 when he established the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry as a non-degree-granting institution.  Mr. Drexel created an institution of higher learning that was uniquely suited to meet the needs of a rapidly growing industrial society of young men and women seeking their place in it. "We believe", states DiUlus, “he definitely would be proud of what Drexel has become today.”
