The Karl Eller Center's Berger Entrepreneurship Program provides a unique curriculum that combines business course work with real world experience. The program's one-year curriculum is designed to prepare students for careers as entrepreneurs and business leaders. Cited as a model program by the U.S. Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship, listed in Business Week and ranked yearly in Success Magazine's top 5% Entrepreneurship Educators, the Berger Entrepreneurship Program integrates theory and application.  The program prepares students for careers as leaders in venture capital and investment banking activities, as managers of innovative corporate endeavors and as independent entrepreneurs.  Program students focus on analysis, decision making, and business planning.
