Upper-Level Seminars on Entrepreneurship

We also encourage the development of upper-level seminars in entrepreneurship across the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences that meet the goals of the program.  All College and Business School faculty members are invited to submit proposals.  Faculty members with accepted proposals receive a $3,000 stipend to assist in the development of an upper level seminar.
