Drew University is a private university in Madison, New Jersey. It has a wooded 186-acre (75 ha) campus. As of fall 2020, more than 2,200 students were pursuing degrees at the university's three schools.[3]

In 1867, financier and railroad tycoon Daniel Drew purchased an estate in Madison to establish a theological seminary to train candidates for Methodist ministry. The seminary later expanded to offer an undergraduate liberal arts curriculum in 1928 and graduate studies in 1955. The College of Liberal Arts, serving more than 1,600 undergraduate students, offers concentrations in the natural sciences, social sciences, languages and literatures, humanities and the arts, and in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary fields. The Drew Theological School, the third-oldest of thirteen Methodist seminaries affiliated with the United Methodist Church,[6] currently enrolls more than 350 students.[3]

The Caspersen School of Graduate Studies, enrolling more than 250 graduate students, offers master's and doctoral degrees in specialized and interdisciplinary fields.[3]

While affiliated with the Methodist faith, Drew University does not impose any religious requirements on its students.[7][8]
