Entrepreneurship education began in 1947 at Harvard University, with a course in “new enterprises” offered to returning veterans of World War II. Since then, it has become one of the fastest growing areas of study in higher education.
The number of structured entrepreneurship programs offered by U.S. colleges and universities quadrupled during the last quarter of the 20th century, and these programs are an integral part of the American startup landscape. Business incubators are increasingly based within universities.
