Overview

The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Three-Year Option program at Drexel University offered by the Close School is rigorous and sustains all the standards of our four- or five-year degree programs. It is a degree that is particularly appealing to the student who is determined, disciplined, and goal-oriented—as we find that many entrepreneurship students are.

Our holistic approach to teaching challenges students to think and act as an entrepreneur within companies, startups, or self-employment. We have developed a curriculum that teaches resilience, collaboration, negotiation, and communication. Students will learn how to manage growth, secure funding, or manage a family firm. We stress interdisciplinary work and flexibility with all Drexel schools through the required academic minor and offer three-year students advanced experiential learning in our exclusive Entrepreneurship Practicum.

Benefits of the Three-Year Degree

Decreased living expenses for 1-2 years

Expedited path to graduation and career advancement
A unique, custom-designed practicum
