The Miami Business School has been committed to fostering student entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial thought leadership for more than 60 years. Through its unique results-driven approach to entrepreneurship education, the School offers a robust entrepreneurship curriculum, supports programs to nurture student-run businesses and provides a research environment where entrepreneurial thinking flourishes.
Our programs give students the knowledge, skills, experience, resources, and opportunities they need to create enterprises from the ground up. Not only do students learn about entrepreneurship in the classroom, they participate in real-world consulting for small businesses and immersion opportunities. These include our successful entrepreneurship mentor program and long-running annual Business Plan Competition, in which David Gannt (right), an international finance and marketing major, took home $10,000 for his win in 2017.

The Entrepreneurship Programs at the School of Business are supported by faculty from across a variety of disciplines - from business technology and business law to management.
With an entrepreneurship major and minor for business students, a minor for non-business students, mentors, and a variety of courses, students come to our programs from across the university to gain support for new ventures and think more creatively. Hear about it from Marianna Makri, who directs the entrepreneurship programs.
