A major strength of the Drexel Executive MBA program is our focus on leadership development. At the core of this instruction is our team-based learning approach. Designed to help enhance the transfer of experiences, each student will progress through the program in diverse teams of three to five members, working on as many as 20 different assignments throughout the program. The orientation session involves team building exercises in which students work together to achieve common goals.
