Experiential learning is at the core of everything we do, providing students with the insider knowledge and influential networks gained in real-world business environments.
Co-op, short for cooperative education, is a program that provides students the opportunity to alternate academic study with up to 18 months of full-time employment, gaining practical experience in their field of study prior to graduation. Students on co-op have the opportunity to test career options and experience working full-time in a professional environment. These learning experiences transcend what can be taught just in the classroom.

Students who add a global experience to their undergraduate program are able to gain a unique perspective of the world. Spending time immersed in another culture pushes students outside their comfort zone so they can develop new strengths and knowledge. From global classrooms to international consulting residencies to study abroad options, there is no shortage of opportunities to add a global experience to a Drexel LeBow experience.
After Drexel, you will have the skills to network and take on big responsibilities in the workplace.
