The College of Arts & Sciences supports faculty and staff who follow their curiosities in their research, scholarship and creative works. These innovations, creations and discoveries often lead to entrepreneurial ventures and the college celebrates these accomplishments.
Our students also are creating businesses, taking entrepreneurship classes, joining social entrepreneurship ventures and participating in hackathons and business competitions. The college is always well-represented among teams that are accepted into the eLab student business accelerator and the yearly Big Idea Competition.
