Burton D. Morgan Program in Liberal Arts & Entrepreneurship Education
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 central objective of the Burton D. Morgan Program for Liberal Arts and Entrepreneurship Education is to explore the meaning and practice of entrepreneurship as it relates to the special competencies cultivated in a liberal arts education. Such competencies include critical thinking, imaginative problem-solving, perception in recognizing opportunity and the ability to break out of established paradigms.
The program is designed to assist students in making those necessary connections between liberal arts education and real world entrepreneurial applications. It consists of 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.
