Drexel Co-op and Experience

Through the Drexel Co-op program, students alternate classroom learning with full-time professional experience through University-approved employers. With plans of study that allow for up to three co-ops, you can gain as much as 18 months of practical experience while building professional networks, developing career clarity and applying classroom knowledge in real-world settings.

Our students have done their co-ops in a variety of organizations, both locally and around the world.

Past business and engineering co-op placements include:

Beyond Co-op

Co-op is just one way to gain real-world experience at LeBow. Many students also expand their experience through consulting courses, case competitions, research projects, international residencies, industry events, alumni mentorship and other hands-on learning opportunities.

Many of these opportunities are made possible through the Dana and David Dornsife Office for Experiential Learning, where students work on real and simulated projects with industry partners. Partners have included organizations such as Unilever, the Philadelphia 76ers, Boeing, PwC, and nonprofit and governmental agencies.

What Can You Do With a Business and Engineering Degree?

Business and engineering graduates work in organizations where business and engineering functions intersect, particularly in companies with significant R&D or technical operations, contributing to decisions that involve technical feasibility, performance, and business impact. Graduates are prepared for roles in:

• consulting
• technology
• operations
• product development
