Inside Higher Ed: Drexel West
Philadelphia-based Drexel University is looking to California for expansion. The university announced Thursday that it will open a graduate school in Sacramento, offering five master’s programs by January 2009 and introducing four more in September 2009. Further expansion may be on the way. Drexel’s announcement noted that a group in Sacramento has offered the university 1,100 acres to build an undergraduate campus in nearby Placer County. While Drexel called that offer “outstanding,” it said that the graduate programs are designed to “introduce” the university to the region.
