UM to Offer New Graduate Program in Entrepreneurship

Students and venture capitalists seeking to bring more startups to Ann Arbor may find just the catalyst they’ve been looking for in a new University of Michigan graduate program in entrepreneurship.

The UM program will combine the resources and acumen of both the College of Engineering and the Ross School of Business and will commence in fall 2012.
