What is unique about this program at the U of M? The Entrepreneurship major has many unique aspects. For example, we offer a diverse range of entrepreneurship-related electives including a course on Entrepreneurial Leadership as exemplified by recipients of the University of Manitoba’s International Distinguished Entrepreneur Award. The award has been given to leading entrepreneurs, such as Richard Branson, Anita Roddick and Howard Schultz. In addition, we periodically offer specialized courses on topics such as Creativity, Social Entrepreneurship and Indigenous Entrepreneurship. Students are also offered direct hands-on learning experiences and exercises – that are unique to the UofM. These exercises include developing business plans for purchasing existing businesses, launching new ventures based on cutting edge technologies, proposing a new App for the Iphone, and prototyping, pitching, and then validating a new design for a paper aircraft (‘Kitty Hawk in the Classroom’). Students from our program also hold the distinction of winning more competitive business plan competitions than any other school Worldwide.
