Drew University is a small, private university located in Madison, New Jersey.

Originally established as the Drew Theological Seminary in 1867, the university later expaned to include an undergraduate liberal arts curriculum in 1928 and commenced a program of graduate studies in 1955. Nicknamed the "University in the Forest" because of the relative serenity of its 186 wooded acres to the school's suburban surroundings, Drew University currently has 1536 undergraduate and 882 graduate students.

While Drew is loosely affiliated with the United Methodist Church, it makes no religious demands on its students.
