Drexel University is one of the region’s premier institutions. Renowned for its academic excellence, Drexel is one of fewer than 50 private universities classified by the Carnegie Foundation as Doctoral/Research-Extensive.  Drexel’s LeBow College of Business is accredited by AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business—and is among the elite 20 percent of business schools to have earned this distinction. LeBow has been recognized by BusinessWeek, Financial Times, Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review as one of the world’s top business schools.

LeBow College of Business integrates Drexel University's technological prominence with experience-based education to develop world-class leaders. We believe experiential education must be global in scope. Our global perspective is integrated into our educational and business outreach activities to exemplify how our students can deliver business for the greater good and truly become responsible global citizens. 

In support of this mission, LeBow College of Business is a proud partner of the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia, Inc. WTCGP connects the Philadelphia business community to the global trade environment and bolsters the region’s economic growth.

“Economic globalization presents a myriad of challenges and opportunities—regionally, nationally, and internationally—WTCGP is a superior resource to LeBow College of Business as we educate future business leaders to thrive in our increasingly global business environment,” says Dr. George Tsetsekos, Dean of LeBow College.

LeBow participates in the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia’s Export for Scholars Program designed to educate the next generation on the importance of international trade and cultural awareness.

In 2009, our students visited China and Malaysia with the Center. In preparation for the program, LeBow students partnered with six companies in the Greater Philadelphia area that were considering their options for penetrating these emerging markets.  Teams of MBA candidates met with representatives from these local companies to determine the nature and scope of each company’s business. Over a three-month period, the teams met with representatives of the World Trade Center and their client companies to prepare a research report for the trade mission companies.  Indeed, the program was designed to work with companies on real international trade issues, and it delivered.  

The World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia was also able to provide LeBow with excellent speakers from local companies including Petronas, Campbell’s Soup, Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and Wachovia Trade Processing Center. “The World Trade Centers Association can connect you around the globe,” observes Dean Tsetsekos, “and in 2010, we are looking forward to visiting Shanghai and Beijing, China with WTCGP.”
