Cross campus entrepreneurship: transforming the modern university

Ongoing developments in entrepreneurship education are resulting in greater collaborations across campuses. This movement will have tremendous potential for not only developing better- prepared students in the disruptive innovative age, but also for producing far more impactful innovations than ever before. Entrepreneurship is not just for business schools, as it applies to music, art, science, law, public policy, medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, engineering, sociology, and virtually any other discipline. Many of tomorrow's most innovative ideas will be for 'ventures' that come schools across the campus. The goal is to foster the entrepreneurial mindset among every member of the university community. An inter-disciplinary approach brings more credibility and substance to entrepreneurial studies and the potential of entrepreneurial behaviors. In addition, developing cross-campus entrepreneurship programs will change the culture of a campus. In this conceptual paper we examine cross campus entrepreneurship as it impacts, faculty, students, administrators, and the entire culture of the university. We outline a pathway for entrepreneurship education across the campus. We contend it is the impetus to create the entrepreneurial university.
