Entrepreneurs are agents and catalysts of economic, technological, and social progress that foster economic development and improve the quality of life. An entrepreneurial mindset - which involves being able to identify problems and opportunities, developing creative solutions, assembling resources, and organizing people to successfully create new businesses - is one of the most important skill set to be successful in the new economy of 21th century. In this program students are going to learn these skills as well as the in-depth knowledge of their functional (concentration) areas. Experiential learning will be emphasized throughout the program with courses involving consulting projects and internships with startups, and students will be ready to create a positive change in society either as start-up founders, or as corporate or social entrepreneurs, or as the leaders of their family businesses.
