The Close School of Entrepreneurship is the nation's first freestanding school of entrepreneurship to offer degrees. Our interdisciplinary programs and curricula, which serve students of all academic disciplines and career ambitions, represent a bold new approach to entrepreneurship education. We don’t just teach entrepreneurship. We teach students to think and act like entrepreneurs. Our academic programs prepare students to face the challenges of self-employment and new venture creation in an evolving 21st century workforce. Our pioneering approach to entrepreneurship education addresses a very real market need — an extremely competitive global workforce that increasingly values initiative, independence, and the intellectual dexterity to rethink old ways of doing things and invent new ones. We prepare students to meet the job market on solid footing — and to create their own opportunities.
