Entrepreneurship Education in Australia
We have had the pleasure of hosting Colin Dunn and Kathy Griffiths from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. They run an ambitious program in which students receive their actual degree in Entrepreneurship (a BBE degree). While most American universities offer a major or a concentration (typically just a handful of courses), the vast majority of the courses RMIT students take focus on entrepreneurship. It is an applied program that requires their students to start a real business before they can graduate. Admission is selective and looks for not only good students, but those with entrepreneurial and leadership potential that is already in evidence.
I look forward watching this program as more of its students make their way into the world.
