Business Learning Community
If you have been accepted to Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business and plan to live on campus, you should consider applying to become a member of the Business Learning Community (BLC)!
The BLC is a community of business students who live and take most of their classes together during their freshman year. Selection to the BLC enables you membership into a peer-to-peer network that offers support both academically and socially.
All BLC students live on the same floor of the same residence hall. They take at least five courses together during their first year and enjoy working together on classroom assignments, projects, and benefit from the built in peer support of study groups.
In addition to the academic advantages, participation in the BLC offers students:
- Academic and professional seminars
- Corporate field trips
- A dedicated staff advisory board
- Networking opportunities with BLC and LeBow alumni
- Leadership opportunities
- LeBow Leadership Certification
- Meaningful community service experiences in the local community
- Social events
- Lasting friendships
All of these opportunities serve to ease the transition to university life and academics and to give you advantages that will kick start your professional business education!
Only incoming residential freshmen may apply. Please visit the Requirements page for more details.
