Drexel Goes Wireless / Leading U. S. University Creates Fully Wireless CyberCampus

Abstract

Drexel has had a long history of technology firsts. In 1983, Drexel became the first university to mandate that all students have access to a microcomputer. In 1996, Drexel launched the first full master’s degree program in information systems delivered entirely online via its Asynchronous Learning Network (ALN). This spring, the first Techno-MBA online program was launched by the LeBow College of Business and by the start of the fall semester Drexel will complete implementation of its fully wireless CyberCampus. Drexel has routinely been rated by Yahoo! Internet Life Magazine as Philadelphia’s number one wired university and most recently 16th nationwide.
