Center for the Advancement of Entrepreneurship

Welcome to the Center for the Advancement of Entrepreneurship. Our mission is simple – to help entrepreneurs start, grow, and sustain businesses.

Access to the Resources You Need to Turn Ideas Into Action

As the entrepreneurial outreach arm of the K-State College of Business, we connect students, entrepreneurs, and innovators with the resources and relationships they need to turn ideas into opportunities. Our support includes:

• Entrepreneurial education. Gain practical knowledge and skills through workshops, tailored courses, and hands-on experiences.
• Student talent pipeline. Connect businesses and entrepreneurs with talented students who can bring fresh ideas, specialized skills, and energy to their teams.
• Financial resources. Access equity-free funding or scholarship opportunities that can help turn promising ideas into viable ventures.
• Mentor and partner connections. Build relationships with experienced entrepreneurs, industry professionals, alumni, and community partners who can provide guidance, expertise, and connections.

Curricular Programs

You can choose to pursue an Entrepreneurship & Innovation Major, the 15-credit hour Entrepreneurship & Innovation Minor, or the 12-credit hour Entrepreneurship & Innovation Certificate. Or, take a class or two to learn how the entrepreneurial mindset will benefit you in your career.
