About the 2023 Think Like an Entrepreneur Summer Academy 

The Think Like an Entrepreneur Summer Academy focuses on the development of soft skills - including fostering of an entrepreneurial mindset – and on the development of specific entrepreneurial knowledge and expertise. Regardless of intended major, we believe that all future business students, and the organizations that will eventually employ them, benefit from the type of creative mindset, hard work, and initiative that power startups. Watch a recap of the 2022 program here.

Important: Transportation and housing are not provided

According to Rohrer College of Business Dean Dr. Sue Lehrman, "It's our expectation that students who participate in Think Like an Entrepreneur will be able to really hit the ground running in their first year at college, wherever they end up going."

Participants will:

• Learn how to conceive, develop, prototype, and sell their ideas.
• Work with Rowan University faculty and student leaders to learn the basics of how to transform an idea into a feasible and viable business.
• Gain exposure to student life as a college student on a college campus and the excitement of working with a team toward a common goal.
• All students who successfully complete the program will earn 3 college credits, equivalent to 1 college course, which can be used at Rowan University or transferred for credit to another university.
