Leading scholarly research to advance entrepreneurship around the globe…

The Center for Entrepreneurship at the Villanova School of Business provides students, faculty, and business leaders with innovative thought leadership and real-world learning experiences in the area of entrepreneurship. The center includes two divisions:

• The Entrepreneurship Research Division focuses on the conduct and publication of entrepreneurial research by VSB professors and graduate students. True to VSB’s tradition of cross-disciplinary scholarship, the division encourages faculty from two or more departments to collaborate on research teams. The division also maintains strong ties with the greater business community through information exchanges, international conference presentations, and significant projects.

Promoting a unique, multidisciplinary approach to the study of entrepreneurial ventures…

• The Experiential Learning Division supports undergraduate and graduate learning opportunities in entrepreneurship. These include experiences both inside and outside the classroom, ranging from venture development to business plan competitions to entrepreneurial career counseling. This division also promotes interaction between students and experienced entrepreneurs, such as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence program, entrepreneurial internships, and seminars featuring entrepreneurial alumni and venture capitalists.
