Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) October 16, 2006 -- Drexel University Online (www.drexel.com) recently announced an educational partnership with Aqua America, the nation’s largest U.S.-based, publicly-traded water company, providing water and wastewater services to approximately 2.5 million residents in 13 states.
Through this alliance, Aqua America employees will have the opportunity to complete an online degree or certificate program through Drexel and receive special tuition rates. Employees will be able to choose from a range of bachelor’s, master’s, and certificate programs that Drexel offers online in areas such as business, engineering, computer science, computing technology, and information science.
Drexel, which is ranked among the Best National Universities in “America's Best Colleges” by U.S. News & World Report for 2007, is accredited by the Middle States Association for Colleges and Secondary Schools and its curricula hold the most prestigious accreditations from their respective accrediting bodies such as AACSB (Business), NLN and CCNE (Nursing), and ALA (Information Science).

“A well-educated workforce is a competitive advantage for companies today,” said Dr. Kenneth Hartman, academic director of Drexel University Online. “Organizations have been selecting Drexel as their preferred online education provider because they know that our programs reflect the same high standards as those on-campus, but offer the convenience busy professionals desire.
