DUCA curriculum is designed to enhance students’ critical thinking, sharpen their leadership skills, and teach them to collaborate more effectively. During the five-week program, students are introduced to the different areas of computing offered at the undergraduate level at Drexel University.

Students are exposed to the field through labs, classes, and group work. They collaborate with Drexel faculty and are introduced to Drexel co-op employers, in order to gain a hands-on, career-oriented experience. Throughout the five-week program students also participate in computer studies projects with real-world applications.

DUCA is sponsored by The iSchool at Drexel, College of Information Science and Technology, the College of Engineering, Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design, and the LeBow College of Business.

Testimonial

"While our child was at DUCA we were able to see pictures and videos on DUCA web sites. We were struck by how in every shot he looked so happy. As a social experience, it’s beyond anything I’ve experienced in my life. Watching them say goodbye to each other it was clear how much they meant to each other. Nobody’s excluded. They are now all close friends. They did a group hug reminiscent of the last episode on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. None of them wanted to stop." - DUCA Parent
