The Clark University School of Business Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program ignites student’s passion for business by providing a hands-on, real-world education. We encourage students of all majors to be curious and creative in a learning environment that fosters personal and professional growth. The entrepreneurship department hosts several student venture opportunities; such as small business popups, a student-designed and run online platform promoting student-run businesses, and real-world experience working in a student-run thrift store. Additionally, the program hosts nationally recognized guest speakers who provide relevant and up-to-date entrepreneurial skills. 

The E&I premier funding competition, Clark Tank, has significantly expanded over the past five years, allowing student entrepreneurs to collaborate with alumni and community leaders to develop strong pitches for funding and in-kind awards. By fostering connections with Clark’s network of successful students and alumni, young entrepreneurs receive support to be their authentic selves while gaining practical experience in operating their own businesses and ventures. The Clark Student Ventures website is entirely student-run.
