Entrepreneurship Education
Entrepreneurship education is widely acknowledged on campuses and in research publications across the globe. In 2014, there were 71 peer-reviewed journals dedicated to the subject, 1,600 colleges and universities offering at least one entrepreneurship course on the topic, and 4,000 endowed chairs (Neck et al., 2014). In addition, there are over 100 US-based entrepreneurship centers affiliated with academic institutions (Neck et al., 2014).
Students interested in entrepreneurship education at Radford University have several course options, including:
Entrepreneurial Speaker Series
The Entrepreneurial Problem-Solvers Speaker Series aims to bring experienced social, environmental, and business entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to campus each semester. During their visit, the guests share advice, insights, and wisdom with the campus community. In an effort to share the experience with the campus community, we will share the webinar recordings here. The series is presented by the Davis College of Business and Economics' Venture Lab.
