Drexel's Sacramento Campus Closing Down; Current Students Can Finish

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Drexel University's Sacramento campus will be closing down, officials confirmed late Thursday morning.

Current students of the university will be able to finish their degrees, a spokesperson said.

Mayor Kevin Johnson was quick to comment on the impending closure.

News just broke on @DrexelUniv leaving Sac. I want to thank them for all they've done. They have been great partners with our community.

With the growth of Sac State and the desire of UC Davis to continue expanding downtown, it's clear that Sac embraces higher education.

The school's Sacramento location opened in 2009 as a satellite campus to Philadelphia-based Drexel University. It offered undergraduate and graduate degrees in business administration, finance and medical science.
