Program Format 

Drexel’s Healthcare MBA is a 24-month degree program consisting of online courses and four face-to-face residency periods, including one international residency, which typically occur at the beginning, middle and end of the program. Cohorts, or groups, of students collectively complete the program, taking the same courses in sequence. Courses build upon each other to deliver a comprehensive mastery of science and technology-based business knowledge.

Drexel’s online Healthcare MBA program is a different kind of online degree, providing students with the same curriculum and resources as MBA students at Drexel’s Philadelphia campus:

• Teaching the economic, regulatory, political, and technological forces that shape the pharmaceutical and biotech industries in a competitive global market 
• Mastering advanced business concepts and communication 
• Developing team-building, negotiation, and leadership skills 
• Building extensive professional and personal networks
