Education Across the Globe
“
“ THE FIRST TIME I VISITED DRAKE IT ‘CLICKED,’ AND I COULD ACTUALLY SEE MYSELF ATTENDING CLASSES HERE.
- Kathlyn Wagner, international relations; Class of 2022. Transferred from Des Moines Area Community College with an Associate of Arts degree.
Kathlyn Wagner transferred to Drake during the Fall 2020 semester. She chose Drake because of the small class sizes and welcoming environment, which made the transfer process to a four-year university less intimidating.
Wagner took advantage of the many organizations on campus. She joined Drake Symphonic Band, the Japanese Language and Culture Association, and the International Student Association. On top of this, she formed close-knit connections with her professors, fostering interpersonal relationships founded on similar interests.
Wagner graduated in May of 2022 with her Bachelor of Arts degree in international relations, and earned minors in human rights studies, East Asian studies, and Japanese. She moved to Taiwan to teach English as a Fulbright Scholar; an international fellowship funded by the U.S. Department of State.
“Don’t be afraid to attend events or try new things, even if it’s last minute or with someone you don’t know too well. That’s how I made some amazing friends at Drake.”
Alex Maciejewski, pre-pharmacy/Pharm.D. candidate with a LEAD concentration; Schaumburg, Ill.; Class of 2022.
“Through networking and many other invaluable experiences, I was hired as a pharmacy intern at a local community pharmacy. I’ve been able to learn so much—not only just by training, but through patient consulting and immersing myself into the field of pharmacy. I recently completed a job shadow at the Mercy Medical Center oncology department.”
Kaili Miller, magazine media/graphic design; Kansas City, Mo.; Class of 2022.
“At Drake, I’ve been able to fi nd my place through being an assistant editor for Drake Magazine and member of the Gamma Omicron chapter of Alpha Phi. Both of these organizations push me to pursue my passions for journalism and sisterhood because I’m surrounded by people who inspire me to dream big.”
Sydnei Washington, elementary education major/sociology minor; Frankfort, Ill.; Class of 2022.
“I strive to make a positive impact on the communities that have helped me. I do this by giving back through several organizations on campus. Drake University has provided me with tools and opportunities to make my goal a reality.”
UNAPOLOGETICALLY ACADEMIC
Drake offers everything you’d expect to fi nd at a university—sports and the associated swag, student organizations and other extracurriculars, social opportunities, food and fun around campus and Des Moines, and more. But from your fi rst day on campus, you’ll understand Drake’s priority: academics and other educational opportunities that help you grow professionally and personally. Everything else comes second.
MAJORS & Mix Match
Chemistry and fi ne art? Pre-law and music? Astronomy and public relations? Why not? We take “nobody’s ever done that before” as a challenge. Drake students blaze their own educational trails to earn degrees that will last a lifetime.
You’ll start work in your major from day one with interdisciplinary classes and skilled advising.

If this is not the case, you should reserve your place in the residence halls by submitting an online contract. Information will be provided in your admission packet.
Regardless of where you live, Drake’s campus, with its student center amenities, beautiful green spaces, libraries, study nooks, and arts and athletics venues, will become home. It’s where you will build friendships, expand your world, and discover new passions—and have a lot of fun along the way.

“
Open doors to broader horizons. “
Studying abroad gave me a whole new perspective on life. Regarding my major, it gave me more of a sense of connecting with people as people, rather than clients, when I enter the workforce—and to be more open to cultural differences and how I can implement them into cultural representation in my field. Also, studying abroad opened me up to a whole new plethora of majors I may be interested in. — Maya Jade Alexander, marketing and advertising; Overland Park, Kan.; Class of 2022.
When education gets real
Des Moines o ers everything from Fortune 500 companies to energetic start-ups. It’s also a thriving hub for government, nonprofit, legal, healthcare, insurance, and agribusiness firms. Plus, Des Moines is growing fast and it’s full of businesses looking for new talent. All of this adds up to abundant opportunities for internships, experiences, networking, and jobs.
“During each of my three years at Drake I held a different, eyeopening internship. I received these positions because of the knowledge I gained in class and the network I created on campus. Having the opportunity to work in my chosen field prior to graduation reassured me that I received the skill set to be successful post-graduation and that being a transfer student didn’t limit my opportunities to be successful at Drake.
“— Shameka Brown, sociology & African diaspora studies; Class of 2020. Transferred from Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC).
Change your time zone.
Drake’s January Term gets you out of the classroom —and maybe out of the state, country, or hemisphere. It’s really up to you.
J-Term allows you to dive into subjects like letterpress or robot programming or do some traveling while learning in places like Washington, D.C., Europe, Chile, the Galapagos Islands, or the Bahamas. No extra tuition needed.
You can also take exploration to the next level — a semester or year-long study abroad experience with over 400 programs to choose from, including various lengths of stay, language immersion, and academic focus.

LET’S TALK DETAILS
Drake offers several things that help take the sting out of the phrase “tuition and fees.” Scholarships
You’ve proven yourself as a student, as an artist, as an athlete, or maybe even all three. Drake University offers a wide range of scholarships designed to reward incoming transfer students for your talents and achievements, no matter where those talents are on display.
100% of full-time undergraduate transfer students receive a scholarship. To see all available scholarships for transfer students, along with additional information and stipulations, visit drake.edu/scholarships.

International students may apply for a grant by downloading and submitting the Drake University International Financial Aid Form to the Office of Admission.
Tuition Guarantee
You will receive an exceptional Drake education at a fixed tuition cost that will not change during your years at Drake. While peer institutions have historically raised tuition by 17.5 percent over four years, Drake students remained locked into their tuition rate while earning their bachelor’s degree. That’s a zero increase in tuition during their years as a student, which allows for better planning of educational expenses. drake.edu/transfer-tuition
TRANSFERRING CREDIT
When you enroll at Drake, you may transfer up to 90 academic credit hours for all majors except the professional PharmD program, which accepts up to 181 credits from regionally accredited institutions.

Up to 16 credit hours of careertechnical courses may be accepted at the discretion of the assistant or associate dean of the Drake college or school in which you want to enroll. Courses accepted for transfer credits must parallel courses offered at Drake or otherwise be appropriate for college-level credit. Drake considers full transfer credit for courses in which you have received a grade of “A,” “B,” or “C” (where “C” is equal to 2.0) or the equivalent of “P” on a pass-fail system (where “P” indicates a quality of work no lower than “C” on a conventional grading scale). A minimum of 30 semester hours must be completed while in residence at Drake.
A course-by-course review of all attempted and completed courses is prepared for each admitted transfer student.
You will receive details on how to access your unofficial Drake transcript online.
