About the Program

The BA in Entrepreneurship and Innovation is designed to teach entrepreneurship as a habit of mind that applies to students in both life and career contexts. Entrepreneurship is about being proactive, enterprising, and innovative. Our holistic approach to teaching challenges students to think and act as an entrepreneur within established companies, in working for small and growing startups, in starting a new venture or self-employment, and in their overall approach to their personal and professional lives. The curriculum teaches students entrepreneurial skills such as resilience, collaboration, opportunity recognition, self-efficacy, negotiation, and effective communication. 

The program features interdisciplinary coursework in collaboration with other Drexel colleges and schools, providing entrepreneurship students with the opportunity to take classes with future engineers, scientists, artists, and business and community leaders.
