Mission  
School mission: Drew, a traditional small liberal arts college, combines the best of the classic liberal arts tradition with innovative programming across the curriculum and upholds the highest intellectual standards. Drew seeks to promote diversity, civic engagement, and social responsibility both in and out of the classroom. Located on nearly 200 beautifully wooded acres know by students as "the Forest", Drew's campus is 30 miles west of midtown Manhattan. Students take advantage of this location by studying in New York City on programs like the Wall Street Semester, the Art Semester, and the United Nations Semester, all directed by Drew faculty. Drew offers the full range of traditional majors in the liberal arts, along with several cutting-edge interdisciplinary and area-studies programs, as well as many opportunities for study abroad, including the unique and popular Drew International Seminars and semester-long programs in London and Brussels run by Drew's own faculty. Because of Drew's location, students benefit from extraordinary internship opportunities at corporate headquarters, research laboratories, foundations, charitable organizations, and government agencies. Drew's low student to faculty ratio and small class size enable its dedicated and accomplished faculty to develop close mentoring relationships with students.
