Business decisions in the life sciences industry require graduates to be skilled in data analytics, digital transformation, leadership, integration and strategy — many skills that aren’t science- or biology-related. In response, Drexel LeBow has created a set of graduate courses designed to prepare you to succeed at the intersection of business and life science.

Curriculum

The Life Sciences Leadership (LSL) Learning Pathway curriculum was developed to help students build skills and gain a deep understanding of the life sciences sector, including its unique dynamics, regulatory environment and emerging trends. Through the pathway’s coursework, students will become familiar with drug development processes, clinical trials, intellectual property rights and healthcare policies.

Courses

Partnered with leading industry experts, LeBow faculty deliver course experiences that are current with the dynamic and high-growth life sciences industry. The course pathway is comprised of three courses that are open to all Drexel graduate students and alumni and can be taken in any order:
