Customize Your Path

Whether you intend to pursue a graduate degree in law or medical school, enter directly into a profession, or even engage in entrepreneurial pursuits, Drake provides the tools and freedom of exploration so you can pursue your dreams with confidence.

Build meaningful connections.
Our 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio means valuable one-on-one mentoring from your professors and lively discussions with your classmates. Together, you’ll learn to write well, think critically, and search for answers to the world’s greatest challenges.

Gain practical experience.
Connect your coursework with hands-on opportunities. Nearly 94% of Drake students have at least one internship, assistantship, on-site practicum, or field experience. Plus, you’ll learn in state-of-the-art facilities like our Drake Undergraduate Science Collaborative Institute or Drake University Community School of Music.

Apply your way with a test-optional process.
Drake offers a test-flexible application. You can choose not to submit ACT/SAT scores and instead participate in an interview. We’re looking for inspired trailblazers and innovators to join our campus — and we know that test scores don’t illustrate all of your strengths.
