At Bowling Green State University, entrepreneurship is defined as the pursuit of opportunities through vision, leadership and passion that challenges the status quo and transforms products, markets, services or organizations. Entrepreneurship implies risk-taking, innovation and growth, not necessarily ownership, and can occur in organizations of various sizes and at different stages of development.
The goal of the BGSU Entrepreneurship program is to:
- Encourage creativity, self-reliance and a "can-do" attitude among business and non-business students through exposure to the entrepreneurship attitude.
- Promote an understanding and appreciation of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial organizations.
- Assist students in the development of their own entrepreneurial plans in an applied learning experience.
