Challenging Students to Think Creatively
Designed to cultivate ingenuity by challenging students to strategize, problem-solve and think creatively, the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center hosts programs on design thinking and social entrepreneurship, engineering, and computer science.
Think, Do, Make: A Project-Based Curriculum
Masters’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program encourages students to think, do and make — and to foster a cross-disciplinary, entrepreneurial thought process, all while developing skills, ideas and character traits.
Through our program's project-based model, students build confidence, accumulate hands-on experience, take risks, nurture unconventional talents, and tackle real-life challenges. Our hope is to ingrain in our students the capacity to think creatively and ambitiously, and provide them with the skills to be able to successfully navigate the complex workforce they will face in the future.
