Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship, housed in the state-of-the-art Center for the Sciences and Innovation now offers a major and sees more than 200 students, representing 44 out of the University’s 47 majors, take entrepreneurship courses each year.
Right now, Tigers are revolutionizing safe, smart, and remote pharmaceutical care, building powerful data models to improve international agriculture, and their digital, 21st-century skills are driving San Antonio’s booming tech and startup scene.
Donors like you are a driving force behind these young innovators. Your support can continue to help turn these daring ideas from words on a whiteboard into reality.
