"Starting New Ventures" Program

Since its inception, the Close School of Entrepreneurship has focused on teaching students how to think like entrepreneurs, launch new ventures and create value within established organizations. For the first time, we now offer this unique learning opportunity to adults interested in studying entrepreneurship through experiential learning, the hallmark of a Drexel education.

Our new "Starting New Ventures" program will launch in early 2017. We’ll be hosting information sessions until that time. If you'd like to participate in an information session, please complete the form on this page and we will contact you. In the meantime, learn more about the mentoring and advising services we offer.

Through this program you will have the opportunity to:

  • Participate in hands-on learning activities with professors and faculty advisers
  • Network with peers, professionals, service providers, customers and mentors
  • Validate and develop your business model
  • Test your market and fine tune your customer research
  • Acquire the skills to create or strengthen your business

Applications are open to everyone, no matter their educational background or level of employment. Whether you have an idea developed already or just want to learn something new, we would love to hear from you!
