Schools at Drexel LeBow

LeBow College of Business is home to two distinct academic schools that prepare students to lead, innovate and solve complex challenges in business and society. The Charles D. Close School of Entrepreneurship and the School of Economics offer specialized programs, experiential learning and research opportunities that reflect Drexel’s commitment to real-world education.

Benjamin Hamalian, MBA '24

My management and organizational behavior courses taught me how to frame different perspectives, map out different end goals and tie them all together. I still refer to the notes I took when I’m handling tricky situations on the job.

Experiential Learning is at the Core of Everything We Do

Drexel LeBow students have access to various real-world learning opportunities beyond the classroom to gain hands-on experience, broad perspectives, and the essential skills necessary to succeed in business and life.

Undergraduate students can graduate with up to 18 months of hands-on, professional experience on their resume and set themselves apart from other students.

Access funding, mentoring and insights into what it takes to build your company, all while expanding your entrepreneurial mindset.

From residencies to industry consulting and business simulations, students gain insider knowledge and influential networks in real-world business environments.

We want our students to graduate not just with a credential, but with the ability to make thoughtful decisions in a world shaped by technology, uncertainty and change. Business education should prepare you to think clearly, act ethically and lead with purpose — that’s what we’re building here.
