Social Entrepreneurship
Growing Program Prepares Students to Make a Global Impact
We launched the nation's first interdisciplinary undergraduate degree in social entrepreneurship in 2016, the B.I.S. in Social Entrepreunership. With this program, we are poised to set the trend in preparing students to lead businesses that transcend profits.
Under the leadership of Nelson Pizarro and in partnership with the Robinson College of Business, we are training leaders to provide transformative solutions that will improve communities across the globe. We'll do this by continuing to provide students with rigorous training in areas like financial resource development and nonprofit management, supplemented by creative programs that blend academics with practical business development.
As the program approaches its third year, we're excited to meet new opportunities for innovation!
