Entrepreneurial Program
The
Center for Entrepreneurship
has been serving students and the entrepreneurial community for nearly 30 years. Courses are designed to foster the entrepreneurial spirit and way of thinking in any endeavor students undertake in the business world. Creativity, innovation, risk acceptance (at an acceptable level) and a "can do" attitude are encouraged to optimize entrepreneurial results. The Center has been a strong force in the development of entrepreneurship education in the local Los Angeles area, the U.S., and internationally.
