Professional MBA

Goals of the MBA Program
Drexel University’s innovative, high-quality MBA program is recognized for its excellence and for its preparation of students for successful professional careers. We seek to attract and retain students with excellent undergraduate academic records and a commitment to graduate education, along with a Graduate Co-op focus. From its inception, Drexel has been a technology-oriented university, and we are committed to focusing our graduate curricula to reflect the importance and use of technology in both business and not-for-profit organizations.

The MBA program is designed to:

• Integrate the foundations of business, problem-solving, and decision-making skills; organization theory; and practical aspects of institutional management

• Prepare students for managerial positions in business and other institutions

• Offer specializations in various areas of management

• Capitalize on communication skills, people skills, global perspectives, technological competence, pragmatic emphasis, and ethical perspectives

• Offer students the opportunity to participate in the Graduate Co-op option, in which they hold a full-time management position for a six-month period once they have completed about half of their graduate program


Academic Preparation
All applicants to master’s programs in business are expected to hold a four-year baccalaureate degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution. The curriculum assumes that the student has knowledge of calculus. In addition, the curriculum assumes that students have personal access to and working knowledge of personal computers to facilitate their academic work. Please note that introductory microeconomics and introductory macroeconomics courses are prerequisites to all advanced-level courses in economics.
