Entrepreneurship education attracts interest

ASU is partnering with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation to make entrepreneurship education a common and accessible campus opportunity for college students.

It’s part of the foundation’s $35 million commitment to colleges and universities across the country.

As part of the foundation’s Kauffman Campuses initiative, ASU was among numerous colleges, universities or university systems invited to submit proposals outlining their plans to encourage entrepreneurship across their campuses. This initiative began in 2003, with $25 million in funding to eight schools that provided entrepreneurship education within liberal arts, engineering and other non-business programs.

ASU proposes to integrate entrepreneurship into university culture in ways that are unique for its interdisciplinary and universitywide reach, empowering students, faculty, staff, the external community and the university to turn ideas into reality.
