Celebrating President Beuerlein and welcoming President Frederick

Beginning June 1, Dr. Jeff Frederick will become Drury's 19th president. Dr. Frederick is already involved in the community by talking with students, faculty, and staff about ways we can continue to grow at Drury. Click here to learn more about Dr. Frederick.

📝 ACADEMICS

Engineering is coming Fall 2024

We are excited to welcome our first class of engineering students this fall, and we would love for you to be a part of it!

Are you interested in hands-on learning and applying what you learn outside of the classroom? Drury's engineering programs may be perfect for you.

What does engineering look like at Drury?

• Students will explore electrical engineering and mechanical engineering before choosing their focus. Both programs can be completed in four years.
• Students will participate in labs and projects to apply what they are learning. Many classes will offer free access to software and materials.
• Classes are focused on high-quality interdisciplinary learning. Students will also explore math, science, computer science, and business throughout their engineering journey.
