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 programs aim 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." 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 as the Department of Evening Courses. In 1918, during Hollis Godfrey's internal reorganization, 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).
