Economics & Management

Our Mission is to equip students to identify, analyze, and solve complex problems through excellent, liberal arts education and experiential learning, which enables students to become ethical and entrepreneurial leaders. 

Students can experiment with putting innovative ideas into action at the annual Entrepreneurship Competition hosted on campus. Entrepreneurship requires critical thinking, promotes creativity and resilience, teaches how to deal with ambiguity, and allows students to learn what questions to ask, and where to look for answers.

Join us May 1st for the annual Gustie Entrepreneur Cup, with $21K in prize money! This virtual event will feature 8 student ideas pitched to our team of judges. These student-led innovations range from sustainable clothing, smart-energy, virtual gambling, and more!
