Overview
Founded in 1903 as part of Drexel Institute, the business college was renamed in 1999 in honor of alumnus and benefactor Bennett S. LeBow following a major gift. LeBow College of Business has built a reputation for integrating Drexel's signature cooperative education (co-op) program into business education, giving students up to 18 months of paid, full-time professional experience before graduation. It is AACSB-accredited in both business and accounting, and is recognized for programs in finance, entrepreneurship, and business analytics.
