The Shuford Program in Entrepreneurship empowers students with hands-on learning experiences, mentorship, and the skills needed to think and act entrepreneurially. Whether you’re looking to pursue the Entrepreneurship Minor, study abroad, or become a program leader, this is your starting point.
The Entrepreneurship Minor provides students with real-world hands-on learning experiences, connecting them with industry leaders and innovators, mentorship opportunities, and the skills needed to think and act entrepreneurially in any industry. Our interdisciplinary learning environment and cross campus partnerships make the Entrepreneurship Minor a complement to any major.
The Shuford Away Program offers students the opportunity to engage in transformative global entrepreneurship experiences through semester and summer study abroad options. These programs provide students with unique opportunities for personal and professional growth in dynamic international settings.
The Shuford Ambassadors (AMs) are a team of passionate and engaged student leaders who represent the Shuford Program in Entrepreneurship. As the program’s student voice, they play a key role in promoting the Entrepreneurship Minor across campus, planning and hosting student-run events, and advocating for student perspectives in meetings with faculty, staff, and the Shuford Advisory Board.
The Shuford Innovators-in-Residence Program is a week-long residency focused on bringing UNC alumni who are also social entrepreneurs and innovators back to campus to lead class discussions, mentor, and teach current students across campus. This is an amazing opportunity to share your story, sharpen your skills, and build up the community that got you to where you are today!
