The program has been growing and includes a required minor. It’s Entrepreneurship Co-op gives the student the experience in starting a business where failure is not frowned upon.”
Drexel University’s Close School of Entrepreneurship is the nation’s first freestanding school of entrepreneurship to offer degrees.
