Drury University provides outstanding students an environment of academicexcellence, a strong sense of community, diversity of thought and culture,and preparation for a professional career. Our education and businessprograms are regional models, and Drury is one of the few liberal artscampuses with a fully accredited architecture school. Drury's corecurriculum, Global Perspectives 21, leads students on a four-yearexploration of Western and non-Western cultures, capped with a seniorresearch project. Each of Drury's 45 majors and two dozen special programsis centered around faculty who are excellent teachers. Informalconversations outside class build strong friendships among students andprofessors. As students progress through each major, they explore individualinterests, then apply the knowledge in a professional setting.Three-quarters of Drury students complete at least one internship. One yearafter graduation, 97 percent of students are working, including 33 percentattending graduate or school. The success of our graduates proves the valueof a Drury education.
