Student life and academics come together in the Clarkson Common Experience, which develops an outcome-based thread of critical thinking and creative skills across all courses and extracurricular programs.

Today's business leaders must understand how to manage in an increasingly technological, global and dynamic work environment. Innovation and Entrepreneurship spans the boundaries between traditional business programs and focuses on managing technology. In this field you gain fundamental knowledge of technology and quality management, while specializing in one of four tracks:

• International Business — Topics include international trade, money and capital movements, international transfer of technology, and political and cultural differences among nations.
• Entrepreneurship — Business strategy, managing projects, marketing, finances and understanding risk.
• Project Management — How to plan, manage and control complex projects.
• Customized — You may also elect to design a customized track to meet specific career objectives.

Business education at Clarkson has changed as our economy has changed. Today, Clarkson's programs embrace the broader multidimensional approach used in the most successful corporations and industries. In Innovation and Entrepreneurship, you will reap the benefits of a number of faculty strengths, including marketing, management, finance, information systems, and operations management.

At Clarkson, we get you in the game early. Many schools accept students into business degree study only in their junior year. Here, you will take a two-semester entrepreneurial sequence during your first year. You will learn about all of the facets of the business enterprise. Development of a start-up sets the context for the next three years of academics. We call it "learning business by doing business."

In addition to this undergraduate program, Clarkson also offers graduate degrees in business.
