Overview

Miami University offers the John W. Altman Institute for Entrepreneurship and the Department of Entrepreneurship within the Farmer School of Business, delivering undergraduate and graduate programs that blend coursework with hands-on, real-world learning in startup work, social entrepreneurship, and corporate innovation. Its programs connect thousands of students from every major to an entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus, using experiential projects, centers like the Center for Social Entrepreneurship, and partnership with venture-related activities to build practical skills. The school differentiates itself through award-winning programs, national rankings for entrepreneurship, and recognition as an Ohio Center of Excellence, focusing on applied research and immersive learning rather than theory alone. Its goal is to prepare students to be job-ready on day one and to equip them with the experience and connections needed to launch and manage ventures after graduation.
