The LeBow College of Business

Special Programs

International Residency

The College's international residencies are thoughtfully planned and coordinated to complement classroom learning and give students the most well-rounded educational experience possible. The one-week residency program takes place during spring break and has historically taken place in Chile. Chile was selected because the country's recent transition to an open economy makes it a good example for study. Future sites will also include emerging economies.

The College’s Drexel in London Program offers flexible schedules for study abroad, ranging from six-week summer sessions to six-month (two-term) combined study and co-operative education programs in which students can earn up to 18 credits and fulfill one of their co-op requirements. The program’s emphasis is on international business in general, with a particular focus on the United Kingdom and the European Union. Business course selections each year will be selected from the list of courses that constitute the international business concentration, but students in other concentrations may participate in the program. Housing is provided in South Kensington, one of central London’s most desirable residential sections. Drexel in London applications are administered by the Study Abroad office, 215.571.3558.

LeBow College’s LIFEfolio is a Web-based portfolio  that enables students to connect  introductory course material to upper level classes. Beginning in freshman year, LIFEfolio allows students to build an integrated academic experience as they progress through the LeBow curriculum. In the two electronic portfolios that comprise LIFEfolio - Academic and Career—students store information, reflect on what they have learned, and understand how that knowledge has impacted their beliefs, attitudes and personal development.

Developmental Advising

The Undergraduate Advising Center provides a staff of full-time developmental advisors who serve as an important resource to our students as they choose and attain their educational, career, and life goals. Our advisors form on-going relationships with our students as they progress through their college years to assist them with goal-formation, selecting a degree program, and making choices from the wide array of options offered by Drexel University.
The goal of our developmental advisors is to foster the empowerment of our students to become skillful problem solvers and experienced decision makers who are well-positioned to emerge as the business leaders of the future following graduation from LeBow College of Business."

Career Services

The Undergraduate Career Services department is committed to preparing LeBow undergraduate students to make educated and informed decisions to pursue their career goals. The staff presents workshops and facilitates special employer events to empower students to best market their academic accomplishments, relevant work experience, skills and abilities to prospective employers.

The Career Service staff is available to meet individually with students to provide their expert advice on topics such as: resume preparation, interviewing etiquette and salary negotiation techniques. Students are able to utilize industry specific resource materials and benchmarking information in their job search activities.

Co-operative education, academic eligibility requirements, acceptance of transfer students, and placement services are described in detail in other sections of this catalog.
