"LeBow College of Business has been sharply focused on the development of the ‘entrepreneurial mindset' of our student body," said LeBow College of Business Dean George P. Tsetsekos. "Whether starting up their own successful ventures or creating new areas of opportunities for existing companies, LeBow College graduates are known for being enterprising.” LeBow College achieved the ranking based on three criteria: academics and requirements, students and faculty, and outside the classroom opportunities. Schools were questioned on entrepreneurship majors, experiential learning, internships, and external partnerships or internal organizations focused on entrepreneurship, among other questions about class sizes and entrepreneurship faculty. Results of the survey suggest that LeBow College, at its Laurence A. Baiada Center for Entrepreneurship in Technology, demonstrates a commitment to practical, hands-on experiential learning to provide the skills that translate into real-world businesses. LeBow College of Business offers an undergraduate concentration in entrepreneurship and a concentration at the graduate level, as well as a minor in entrepreneurship accessible to students from other schools within Drexel University. One such practical application is New Venture Projects Online, a new program that illustrates the commitment of LeBow College and the Baiada Center to connecting students with new ventures, providing both entrepreneurs and students with the benefits of working together. All courses take place in the Baiada Center and dovetail with the Center's other offerings, including StartUp!, a summer camp for high-ability high school students; business plan and entrepreneurial skills workshops; a regional entrepreneurial breakfast series; and an annual entrepreneurship conference that includes a business plan competition. The Baiada Center serves as an incubator for eight thriving startup companies that are past winners of business plan competitions, and provides these companies, along with companies throughout the region, professional development through its Growth Acceleration Program (GAP).About Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business Recognized by BusinessWeek, Entrepreneur, Financial Times, Forbes/The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report for superior programs, Drexel University's LeBow College of Business empowers, enriches and inspires future business leaders through an innovative, strategic approach to business education defined by leadership and ethics, industry perspectives and technological orientation.
