Backed by wealthy alumni, entrepreneurship centers become mainstream at CT colleges

A decade ago entrepreneurship programs weren’t mainstream at many college campuses but that’s changed in recent years as schools look to attract more students interested in starting their own businesses, and create stronger ties with the business community.

Several Hartford-area universities have accelerated their entrepreneurship offerings. The latest to join the effort is Trinity College, a well-known liberal arts school that has been expanding its career-oriented programs to include things like tech training.
