Academics
The master's in entrepreneurship and innovation is a studio-based, student-centric program, where each student will be responsible as the entrepreneur working with a small founding team (as in real life startup) to make things happen. The studio approach places a high premium on preparation, critical thinking, ‘knowing and applying the referenced course concepts’, collaboration and communication. You will learn in a failure-friendly space with the goal of learning faster. Instructors will mentor you and your classmates, helping you find the resources needed to achieve your goals.
This degree is delivered by leading faculty within three world-renowned colleges within Arizona State University: the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, and the W. P. Carey School of Business.
As a STEM-designated master’s degree, the master's in entrepreneurship and innovation allows eligible graduates on student visas access to an Optional Practical Training (OPT) extension for up to 36 months, helping international students gain additional real-world skills and experience in the U.S.
