Entrepreneurship

Center for Entrepreneurship 

Messiah actively prepares you for a career in entrepreneurship through its Center for Entrepreneurship. The Center for Entrepreneurship uses hands-on business ventures and knowledgeable resources during your time as a student at Messiah University to develop your skills and passion for entrepreneurial efforts in your community. We'll help you establish your knowledge of best practices through foundational courses in entrepreneurship; encourage you to participe in immersive opportunities both on and off campus; and help you put your skills into action as you step into your calling and career.

Practical experience

Like many business students, you may opt to participate in internships which turn work experiences into learning opportunities and make connections between classroom theory and the "real world." Internships with nonprofit organizations offer a special opportunity to serve the community. Often internships lead directly to full-time career employment.

Hands-on learning

Grow your entrepreneurial skills by participating in our Impact Venture Challenge, a business plan competition dedicated to exploring innovative solutions to critical impact areas facing society. Learn how to invest and earn profit through the Investment Club, a hands-on laboratory experience that creates an income stream providing funding for student organizations. You may even wish to travel to Europe, Asia and the Middle East with the International Business Institute!
