Drew University to Offer January Visiting Student Program

Through Drew University’s Special and Visiting Student Program, a student who may be uncertain about their college plans or who want to explore a college education is welcome to apply. Visiting students can take advantage of Drew’s small classes, excellent faculty, and rigorous course of study, on a temporary basis.

You don’t have to be enrolled as a four-year student at Drew University in order to attend undergraduate classes for academic credit.

Are you taking a semester off from college but would like to pick up a few credits? Perhaps you’re not sure a four-year university education is right for you, but want to try it out. Maybe you’re exploring a new career or considering graduate school and would like to get started by taking some courses.

Students who enroll in the Special and Visiting Student Program earn college credits that can be transferred back to their home college or university. Others can have an introductory college experience before committing to a degree program. Application deadlines are Jan. 15, 2015, for the spring semester and Aug. 15, 2015, for the fall semester.

The Office of Continuing Education provides visiting students with pre-admissions counseling and an individualized orientation. All college courses are open to special and visiting students on a space available basis, providing all prerequisites are met. Students may attend on a part-time or full-time basis. The current College of Liberal

All special and visiting students are granted access to Drew’s student services and facilities, including the library, counseling center, writing center, tutoring program, and athletic center. Visiting students are welcome to participate in campus activities and clubs, though they are not permitted to participate in NCAA athletics.
