• Entrepreneurship Programs

Welcome to the Entrepreneurship Program at Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School.

We offer students an undergraduate major or minor in entrepreneurship, as well as a graduate level concentration as part of our MBA program. We compliment our academic program with additional resources and opportunities through our Center for Entrepreneurship located in the Sawyer Business School.

Mission

Our culture of learning and support creates an environment where our students and alumni become global leaders by launching successful ventures or developing entrepreneurial thinking within existing organizations. The four pillars of our program: curriculum and research, community outreach, new venture creation and development, serve as the foundation of our innovation and creativity by taking ideas to execution.

We support our mission with the promotion of passion, vision, knowledge, innovation and leadership.
