Greetings from Drexel! I hope this note finds everyone well.

Before the holidays, I received questions on career placement and salary information. I apologize for the delay in posting this response. The Office of Career and Professional Development was still gathering information at that time. Here is what they have gathered thus far.

As always, don't hesitate to visit their site for more information or to contact their office for specific questions/concerns.
