Overview

LeBow College of Business integrates Drexel University's technological prominence with experience-based education to develop world-class leaders. LeBow's graduate programs are based on rigorous academics and hands-on learning, as well as a focus on global perspectives and entrepreneurial thinking.

Drexel LeBow's full-time MBA, completed in 15 months, now offers an exclusive opportunity: The C-Suite Co-op. Over the course of the academic year, students compete for an opportunity for a paid position, working side-by-side with top-level management for 3 months at top-tier companies -- including eBay, SAP, Urban Outfitters and others. Other experiential learning components, such as consulting or study abroad opportunities, give all the students the chance to apply their classroom learning in real-world business situations.

Drexel LeBow's MBA programs have a variety of delivery options for business students to study while still engaged in their careers. The part-time MBA options include an at-students'-own pace or accelerated evening program. The online MBA is also accelerated, cohorted, and is truly flexible -- yet delivers the same curriculum and degree as the on-campus program. Concentrations and a flexible core allow students to customize the curriculum to their areas of interest. Elective courses are offered through cross-disciplinary institutes and centers to bring executives and academics together to explore best practices in the fields of corporate governance, reputation management, strategic leadership, and entrepreneurship and innovation. Concentrations include business analytics, entrepreneurship and innovation management, healthcare management, finance, and marketing.

Students enrolled in LeBow's MS programs master their concentrations and learn to think strategically from world-renowned faculty members and top practitioners in an environment of unparalleled academic focus. MS degrees are offered in accounting, business analytics, and finance.

For more than 30 years, LeBow's PhD programs have prepared doctoral students to advance knowledge and practice in business and economics through excellence in research and teaching. The faculty members take a hands-on approach to mentoring students and producing the next crop of thought-leaders.
