Baylor's John F. Baugh Center for Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise is one of the oldest entrepreneurship programs in the nation and for the last 15 years, it has been a top-10 program too, according to associate director Kathy Carr.
From the Ground Up
More than four decades ago, Baylor became one of the nation’s first universities to establish an entrepreneurship center. It quickly became the focal point for entrepreneurial development at Baylor, building new curriculum, conducting research and acquiring additional resources.
Today, the Baylor Department of Entrepreneurship and Corporate Innovation within the Hankamer School of Business is dedicated to the study, teaching and practice of new venture creation and growth.
U.S. News & World Report ranked Baylor’s undergraduate entrepreneurship program as the nation’s eighth-best last fall, ahead of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Southern California.
