Center for Entrepreneurship
Why is Entrepreneurship Important?
Not all business students will become entrepreneurs, but nearly all will work for, sell to, provide services to, provide financing to, provide technology, train employees for, or otherwise interact with startup companies and entrepreneurs. Having a fundamental understanding of entrepreneurship is important for all students in the Robbins College of Business and Entrepreneurship. Therefore, basic principles key to entrepreneurship are threaded through core programs in the college.
