Entrepreneurship at Northwestern

Entrepreneurship is everywhere. A recent Business Week article titled ‘Startup Fever: College Students Have It Bad’ talks about the boom in entrepreneurship in college campuses around the country.

Northwestern University, in Evanston, Ill., added six more undergraduate classes in entrepreneurship in the past three years (for a total of eight) in response to student demand, says Michael Marasco, director of Northwestern’s Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

The Farley Center has pioneered a series of innovative interdisciplinary courses called NUvention in different verticals — Medical focuses on medical innovations, Web on web-based businesses and Energy on energy and sustainability projects. These classes help students go from idea to conception to the actual launch of the businesses.
