About the Program

The Management major is designed to equip students with a rigorous foundation in four essential managerial skills: (1) strategic insights and decision-making, (2) leadership, (3) innovation management, and (4) communication. Students gain both the theoretical knowledge and practical abilities needed to function as effective team players and visionary team leaders. They will learn to approach business challenges creatively, communicate persuasively, and inspire others to achieve shared strategic goals. These competencies are developed through a combination of scientific rigor and experiential learning.

This major prepares students for careers in fields such as management consulting, business advisory, entrepreneurship, technology management, human resource management, and project management. It also complements other business majors, providing a versatile skill set suited to roles that blend technical and managerial expertise. Graduates are prepared for a range of careers, including client-facing roles in accounting, banking, business development, and marketing, as well as analytical positions requiring cross-functional business insights, such as strategic and people analytics.

Facilities

The 12-story, 177,500-square-foot home for LeBow College of Business is located at the heart of the Drexel University campus, at the intersection of Woodland Walk and Market Street, where it forms a gateway to Drexel and a backdrop to the historic statue of A. J. Drexel (Moses Ezekiel, 1904). The diagonal massing of the lower floors follows Woodland Walk and combines with the new Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building (Diamond & Schmitt, 2011) to energize the University’s central quadrangle. The building’s tower will mark the LeBow College and Drexel campus from all directions while the open, glassy Market Street façade will showcase the College’s student activities to passersby.

The building’s organization unites the school’s various constituencies around a five-story-high atrium ringed by classrooms, student lounges, events spaces, and offices. The atrium is immediately accessible from main entrances at the three corners of the building. An open stair within the atrium leads to a 300-seat auditorium and 100-seat lecture hall one floor below and to a divisible multipurpose room and additional classrooms above. The building’s upper floors contain faculty offices interspersed with seminar rooms and group study rooms. The top floor houses the Dean’s suite and a boardroom and conference suite that opens to east- and west-facing terraces.

The building’s warm masonry and glass exterior reflects the emerging vocabulary of the next generation of Drexel buildings. Sophisticated solar shading devices allow maximum transparency between the inside and outside while supporting the building’s high environmental aspirations.
