Liberal Arts & Entrepreneurship Education

Burton D. Morgan Program

 

Entrepreneurship is a process of innovation that brings imagination, creativity, and risk to bear on a real-world opportunity, creating sustainable value that did not exist previously.

The Burton D. Morgan Program in Liberal Arts and Entrepreneurship Education is designed to assist students in making connections between their liberal arts education and real world entrepreneurial applications. The program emphasizes critical thinking, imaginative problem-solving, perception in recognizing opportunity and the ability to break out of established paradigms.

It works primarily through six initiatives:

  • Workshops
  • Guest Residencies
  • Curricular Support
  • Student Organization Activities
  • Innovation-Related Research
  • Internships & Ventures 

These initiatives are structured to operate through collaborations across the campus, benefiting from partnerships with Organizational Studies, Career Services, and Service Learning. The entrepreneurship education program would not be possible if not for the generosity of the Burton D. Morgan Foundation.  We thank the foundation for their continued support of Denison University.
