The Inland Empire Breeds Entrepreneurs
February 18, 2010
Cal State San Bernardino's Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship recently received the 2010 Entrepreneurship Education National Award for "Outstanding Specialty Entrepreneurship Program". This was a great honor for this new discipline being offered in the Cal State San Bernardino curriculum. The participants in the program are graduate students with a broad variety of science backgrounds. The one year program focuses on commercializing their scientific ideas. The program encourages and assists the students to perform creatively in the business world. They earn course credit towards an MBA in entrepreneurship. Successfully finishing the one year program will give them a certificate in technology entrepreneurship.
The program was begun five years ago. Since the program was based on relatively new educational concepts, recruiting students was a challenge. However, Cal State has seen an increased quality in their applicants.
There is much spin these days on the need for entrepreneurs who will start new businesses and therefore create jobs. It is always great to hear how institutions in the Inland Empire are achieving national recognition - especially in areas that will be important economic drivers now and in the future.
