The Entrepreneurship Fellows Program (EFP) is designed specifically for undergraduate students with a commitment to and interest in understanding entrepreneurship. Open to students in NHS, SFS, and the College degree programs, Entrepreneurship Fellows explore the meaning of an entrepreneurial mindset and learn how to apply entrepreneurial problem-solving skills throughout their careers. Applications will be accepted again in Fall 2023.

There is flexibility in scheduling these courses to allow students who spend a semester abroad to complete the fellowship.

Requirements
Entrepreneurship Fellows must complete the following sequence:
MGMT 220: Foundations of Entrepreneurship
MGMT 224: Launching Entrepreneurial Ventures
MGMT 229: Managing Entrepreneurial Ventures
Compete in the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Challenge Pitch Competition or another agreed upon competition.
In addition, non-business school students must complete ACCT 001. A course in computer science/coding or financial management may be accepted as a substitute for this requirement at the discretion of the program directors.
Fellows will meet regularly throughout the program to work on potential venture ideas with mentors, faculty and other advisors. There is flexibility in scheduling these courses to allow students who spend a semester abroad to complete the fellowship.
The aim of these courses is to take the mystique out of entrepreneurship, exploring the tools and techniques that entrepreneurs use to maximize their chances of success. The sequence is more “hands on” than many traditional business school courses, and all classes are open to undergraduates outside the business school.
