Entrepreneurship

Be the business-minded innovator that sees a need and bring solutions to life through new products or services.

Simply put, entrepreneurs fix things. As an entrepreneur, you can spot a void, problem or need for a particular product or service. With a creative and innovative mindset, you have the ability to identify potential problems, challenges, assess feasibility (ask ‘will this be successful?’) as well as challenge assumptions, do market research and pursue funding. You’ll be equipped with a well-rounded and holistic view of business that you can apply in any setting and throughout your career.

OU’s Entrepreneurship Program has consistently been ranked among the top entrepreneurship programs in the country by The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine. 

The division's central mission is to help students connect to the world of opportunity.
