The Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies stimulates economic development and diversification in Southeast Texas by addressing the needs of current entrepreneurs and small businesses, while simultaneously enhancing the education of tomorrow's entrepreneurs.
Since its founding in early 2001, the institute has engaged in research to benefit the region, working closely with local chambers of commerce, economic development agencies and city and county leaders.
Within the College of Business, students can major in Entrepreneurship receiving a B.B.A. - General Business Entrepreneurship. New curriculum has also led to the creation of a Minor in Entrepreneurship for non-Business Majors, which is open to all disciplines on campus.
Through its lecture series, the institute seeks to inspire budding entrepreneurs. Courses offered to the general public to assist in developing business ideas, networking and finding venture capital help put wings to inspiration for students, entrepreneurs and small businesses alike.
