Become a More Innovative Thinker
Our entrepreneurship department offers both graduate and undergraduate study options. Earn an MBA, or BA with an entrepreneurship concentration. Round out a BA of another concentration with an entrepreneurship minor, or take a single class.
At St. Thomas, we believe that entrepreneurship isn’t just for startups. Everyone can benefit from learning to think like an entrepreneur. We teach students to create environments where entrepreneurial ideas can flourish, to identify and evaluate new opportunities, and to transform innovations into sustainable businesses.
Experienced, accessible faculty provide the outstanding instruction and support you need to embark on an entrepreneurship career or enhance your current credentials. Our experiential, hands-on curriculum develops your creative voice and confidence, and prepares you to make a professional impact. Graduate students attend class on the Minneapolis campus in Schulze Hall. Undergraduates have the opportunity to utilize our new innovation space in St. Paul, and the [create]space in the Anderson Student Center.
