LIVE IN THE FOREST.
LEARN IN THE CITY.Enjoy our beautiful campus—called The Forest—while having access to life- changing, real-world experiences on Wall Street; at the United Nations; with media giants; alongside creators and taste-makers; and on the front lines with global game changers.
Built into a Drew education are multiple semesters in New York City. These programs take you into the city two days a week for out-of-classroom experiences that bring art, media, finance, theatre, entrepreneurship and international relations to life. You’ll learn from experts in their fields and make connections that will change your perspective and launch your career.
“Every artist we visited in his or her studio was candid and open about what it takes, what they do, how they support themselves and how they started their careers in New York.”
Jeana Wunderlich ’15
Observe the inner workings of international diplomacy. With an on-site classroom, you’ll have unparalleled access to the ground floor of geopolitics.
Meet with members of the U.N. Secretariat as well as the delegations, special agencies and non-government organizations. Attend meet-ings, conduct interviews and gather data for your research project.
“Participating in the U.N. program gave me a strong hands-on perspective and yielded tremendous professional payo�s. I now work for Save the Children in Geneva as an advocate for children’s health in developing countries.”
Chantal Baumgarten ’07SEMESTER ON CONTEMPORARY ART
SEMESTER ON THE UNITED NATIONS
Meet painters, sculptors, printmakers and photographers in their studios. Speak to art critics and dealers in the galleries of Chelsea. Analyze great works at the Museum of Modern Art. Take in public installations around the city.
“We spent several hours with an editor-in-chief at a publishing company who shared memorable stories about projects he had been involved in. Then, he took us to a meeting with 30-plus employees, where he led an intense discussion with people from all di�erent facets of the company—from editing to social media to public relations. That was the first time I had a real hands-on business experience.”
Dylan Blanke-White ’17
SEMESTER ON COMMUNICATION & MEDIA
From historic Madison Avenue to present- day Silicon Alley, study in the media capital of the communications world.
Learn from public relations, advertising and media professionals in the places where content is created, stories are conveyed and information is consumed. Take a critical look at New York City’s media industry; examine the making of—and meaning behind—the messages and the technological, artistic, ethical and moral issues at play.
Goldman Sachs. The New York Stock Exchange. The Federal Reserve.
Explore New York’s financial world close up and speak with the men and women who make the decisions, execute the trades, manage the funds, plan the mergers and regulate the activity.
Take a critical look at Wall Street’s operations, learn the economics behind the transactions, explore the district’s history and consider ethical and moral issues.
“I did the Wall Street Program and had several internships in the city. These experiences directly led to two job o�ers before I graduated.”
RJ Voorman ’14 Financial Analyst, Bank of America Merrill Lynch
THE WALL STREET PROGRAM
SEMESTER ON SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Examine the ways change agents put ideas into action. Discover how nonprofit organizations apply business techniques to address the world’s most serious problems. Determine when and if nonprofits are the appropriate institutions to tackle social issues. Explore which economic factors drive nonprofit decision-making. Then, design your own solution to a real-world challenge, working with an actual social change organization.
“Having the opportunity to meaningfully engage as an undergraduate student in the worlds of New York theatre, social entrepre-neurship, finance, art or international politics is an unparalleled opportunity … These semesters also bring together the core of Drew’s strengths: amazing faculty mentorship, experiential education and the use of all that New York has to o�er.”
Debra Liebowitz Associate Dean for Curriculum and Faculty Development
PROGRAM ON NEW YORK THEATRE
See today’s hottest stage productions and meet the artists who bring them to life. Take in theatre history through tours and museum visits. Hone your technique in hands-on workshops. Partner with a major professional theatre company and your fellow students to create an original ensemble performance piece—experience the thrill of being onstage to premiere it in New York City. Spend one day a week during the semester observing, learning and creating. During spring break, you’ll live in the city all week to rehearse and perform your new ensemble show with the support of professional theatre mentors.
