Masters in Entrepreneurship
The ME is designed for beginner and experienced entrepreneurs. The program will support a student's mastery of the skills, abilities and perspectives required to lead an entrepreneurial venture through the mezzanine stage, and to growth and harvest. We expect most graduates of the ME program to become serial entrepreneurs. Is this your dream? Then, our mission is to help you catch it and live it!
Entrance Requirements
You must present evidence of graduation from a college accredited by an agency approved by the U.S. Department of Education, or its international equivalent. If you have not yet taken the Graduate Management Aptitude Test or the Graduate Records Exam, you must arrange to do so within your first few months of study. If you have an advanced degree, we waive that. There are no minimum scores or grades. We consider your experience, grades, exams, performance on the essay and during the interview, and we weigh the various factors.
