Drexel University

The Close School of Entrepreneurship is the first freestanding school of entrepreneurship in the nation to offer degrees in entrepreneurship. Our interdisciplinary programs and curricula, which serve students of all academic disciplines and career ambitions, represent a bold new approach to entrepreneurship education. We don’t just teach entrepreneurship. We teach students to think and act like entrepreneurs. In addition, the Close School is home to Drexel's Baiada Institute for Entrepreneurship. The Institute bridges education and entrepreneurship by linking research, coursework, experiential learning, and entrepreneurial thinking with practical guidance for budding entrepreneurs. The Institute's mission - underscored by a deep interdisciplinary nature - to develop entrepreneurial leaders and foster the creation of successful technology ventures within the Drexel community distinguishes it as one of the nation's leading entrepreneurship programs. The Institute focuses on Entrepreneurship in Action, offering Mentoring Programs, Business Incubation, Student Clubs, and unique opportunities that advance entrepreneurs, such as Seminars in Entrepreneurial Excellence. Students from every academic discipline are encouraged to participate through interactive workshops, entrepreneurial courses, conferences and competitions. Visit us at http://drexel.edu/close/
