In addition to offering academic programs to students, these colleges have recognized the importance of serving the needs of innovative, entrepreneurial and growing businesses in their area. Such companies are the economic backbones of the regions these colleges serve — and they are the creators of jobs their alumni will need upon graduation — at least, the graduates who don’t start their own companies immediately. Helping these companies succeed is important to these colleges’ success, as well.
Across the U.S. — indeed, around the world — universities are
responding to a wave of students who want careers as entrepreneurs and
small business owners. Over 110 university programs focused on such
entrepreneurship, small business and family business education and
training are now featured in the SmallBusiness.com University
Entrepreneurship Programs Hub. Each entry features an overview of
the program, along with contact information.
American colleges and universities are also homes to nearly 1,000 Small Business Development Centers (almost 850 are featured on the SmallBusiness.com SBDC Hub).
