Global Entrepreneurship Experience: First Cohort Selected
The College of Business has assembled its first cohort for the Wells Fargo Global Entrepreneurship Experience. Starting in the fall, 20 dynamic students selected from all over the world will begin the experience of a lifetime. Directed by Janet Runge, Ph.D., the series will supplement a students major with a selective curriculum that combines immersive learning, leadership development and global perspective with an entrepreneurial focus.

The program is designed to attract creative, high-achieving high school students to UNLV to experience entrepreneurship on a global scale. Students will get hands-on experience in developing unique business models to bring new products and services to world markets. It will focus on a combination of academic streams that join together to define and shape a larger topic. The carefully sequenced curriculum sets a premium on multidisciplinary perspectives, interactive learning, co-curricular experiences and flexibility.

Thanks to Wells Fargo, aspiring entrepreneurs will receive full scholarships. They can take several specialized courses together in sequence, learn from experienced entrepreneurs through guest lectures, and compete in national business plan competitions.
