Drew University is a selective coeducational private university located in Madison, New Jersey, in the United States.
Drew has been nicknamed the "University in the Forest" because of the serenity of its wooded 186-acre campus (753,000 m²) when compared to the busy suburban area surrounding the school. As of 2013, 2,369 students are pursuing degrees at the university's three schools.Undergraduate tuition for the 2012–2013 academic year was US$54,200 (excluding books, personal expenditures, and health insurance), making Drew among the most expensive universities in New Jersey.USNews ranked Drew among the top 100 national liberal arts colleges in its 2015 rankings.
In 1867, financier and railroad tycoon Daniel Drew directed that his estate in Madison be given to establish a theological seminary to train candidates for ministry in the Methodist church. The seminary later expanded to offer an undergraduate liberal arts curriculum in 1928 and graduate studies in 1955. The College of Liberal Arts, serving 1,582 undergraduate students, offers strong concentrations in the natural sciences, social sciences, languages and literatures, humanities and the arts and in several interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary fields. The Drew Theological School, the third-oldest of thirteen Methodist seminaries affiliated with the United Methodist Church, currently enrolls 436 students preparing for careers in the ministry and the academic study of theology.The Caspersen School of Graduate Studies, enrolling 351 graduate students, offers masters and doctoral degrees in a variety of specialized and interdisciplinary fields.
While affiliated with the Methodist faith, Drew University makes no religious demands of its students. While many of the Theological School's students and faculty are United Methodist, students of all faiths are admitted to study. The United Methodist Church's General Commission on Archives and History is located on campus and maintains an archive of Methodist records and artifacts from the nineteenth century to the present.
