Entrepreneurship
"One of the top 25 graduate entrepreneurship programs in the United States"
- 2010 Entrepreneur Magazine and Princeton Review
I enrolled in the first entrepreneurship class because I needed the elective credits toward my MBA, and the course schedule worked well with my work and family commitments. I had no idea what I was about to experience. After the first class, I was hooked. I have always been entrepreneurial but during those first few hours the seed to do something was watered and took root. All the ideas that I thought about, talked about, and dreamed about finally seemed possible and even, realistic.
