Xavier’s commitment to educational leadership
in higher education led to the Drexel Center for Extended Learning. The
Drexel Center is an educational outreach program designed to meet the
specific and specialized needs of the non-traditional community.

Adult Programs
The Drexel Center was created for adults 24 years and older wishing to begin or return to college. We realize that these “non-traditional” students have better things to do with their time than stand in long lines to register for class. They aren’t as concerned with extracurricular activities as they are with ample parking and speedy registration.
