The Richard C. Goodwin College of Professional Studies is a higher education college at Drexel University.

By offering a variety of delivery modes including; traditional day, part-time evening, accelerated Saturday classes, online, off-campus, and at corporate sites, Goodwin’s program aims to fulfill A. J. Drexel's vision in making a "school for the study of design and for vocational training in the most general and best sense." [cite book|last=McDonald |first= Edward D. |coauthors = Edward M.

History

Established shortly after the founding of Drexel as the Department of Lectures and Evening Classes, the College of Professional studies has been a part of the school since 1892 under nine different names. In 1896, the Department of Lectures and Evening Classes was renamed to just the Department of Evening Courses. In 1918, during Hollis Godfrey's internal reorganization, [cite book|last=McDonald |first= Edward D. |coauthors = Edward M. Hinton |title =Drexel Institute of Technology 1891 - 1941 | publisher = Haddon Craftsmen, Inc. |date=1942 |pages = pp. 54 - 69 |isbn = 1406763748] it was renamed the Evening School. When degrees were offered through the school in 1924, it was renamed once again to the Evening Diploma School, from then it became known as the Evening College and Diploma School (1950-1965), and the Evening College (1965-1987). In 1987, it was renamed University College and remained that until 1993. [cite web|title=Drexel's colleges and schools, 1891-present |url=http://www.library.drexel.edu/archives/history/colleges.html |publisher=Drexel University |accessdate=2008-02-23] In 1997, the college was brought back as the College of Evening and Professional Studies and underwent its last name change to the Goodwin College of Professional Studies in 2001 in honor of alumnus Richard C. Goodwin.

In March 2008, it was announced that Goodwin College will be merging with Drexel's School of Education. This merge will occur by September 2008.
