"Combining our premier faculty, our growing relationships with local startup hubs downtown and in midtown, and our phenomenal student body including students that have experience building successful companies and have even appeared on Shark Tank, and our nationally recognized Chaifetz Center for Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship MBA programs, we can provide a unique and outstanding experience to rising entrepreneurs," Higgins said.
Business professor Jerome Katz, Ph.D., Director of the Billiken Angels Network, has been a part of the University's entrepreneurship programs for more than three decades and seen continued growth and success.
"Having one of the top MBA Entrepreneurship Programs in one of America's top start-up cities provides unparalleled opportunities for our MBAs and for talent-hungry local start-ups," Katz said. "Having one of the nation's three top university-based angel groups means that our MBA entrepreneurship grads can often get the funding they need on campus. And with over 40 years of experience in entrepreneurship education, SLU is a global leader in getting businesses launched."
