In 1931, Drexel began offering graduate degrees through the School of Home Economics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.library.drexel.edu/blogs/collections/drexel-history )〕 Since its founding the university has graduated over 100,000 alumni. Certificate-earning alumni such as artist Violet Oakley and illustrator Frank Schoonover reflect the early emphasis on art as part of the university's curriculum.〔 With World War II, the university's technical programs swelled, and as a result Drexel graduated alumni such as Paul Baran, one of the founding fathers of the Internet and one of the inventors of the packet switching network, and Norman Joseph Woodland the inventor of barcode technology.〔 In addition to its emphasis on technology Drexel has graduated several notable athletes such as National Basketball Association (NBA) basketball players Michael Anderson and Malik Rose, and several notable business people such as Raj Gupta, former President and Chief executive officer (CEO) of Rohm and Haas, and Kenneth C. Dahlberg, former CEO of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). ==Notable alumni== * A "—" indicates that the information is unknown. ;Degree abbreviations *Cert – Certificate *BS – Bachelor of Science *Postgraduate degrees: : *MA – Master of Arts : *MBA – Master of Business Administration : *MD – Doctor of Medicine : *MS – Master of Science : *PhD – Doctor of Philosophy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Drexel University alumni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
