What Makes Drexel's Screenwriting & Playwriting Program Distinctive?

* Class size is limited, insuring a high level of individual attention and interaction with faculty. In particular, all of the professional writing courses are limited to a maximum of 16 students.

* Students begin their writing coursework in the first year of study.

* Practicing professional writers teach courses and interact with students on a regular basis, maintaining the currency of the program.

* All students complete a senior project of professional scope to prepare them for the practical and creative challenges they will face in the field.

* Students are continually encouraged to develop individual styles of expression through experience with a diverse range of forms and subjects.

* Students take classes and interact with a broad cross-section of those studying other arts - architects, graphic designers, chefs, musicians, filmmakers, fashion designers and photographers.

* Drexel University is located in Philadelphia, a major, national media center. The city's own activities as well as those of nearby New York and Washington provides students with the opportunity to interact and take part in a rich array of cultural, cinematic and theatrical offerings.
