UBC has tremendous depth and breadth of expertise in educating entrepreneurship. In particular, the Faculty of Applied Science and the Sauder School of Business have had great success in offering inter-disciplinary course in entrepreneurship which have resulted in new companies such as EnergyAware, ReCon Instruments and PeerFx.
Building on this success, entrepreneurship@UBC is working with the Faculty of Arts, Department of Music and the Faculty of Science, Department of Computer Science in developing interdisciplinary courses in entrepreneurship.
We are also presenting informal workshops on topics of interest to new entrepreneurs.
In the interim, if you’re an Applied Sciences student or a student in the Sauder School of Business, a sample of courses and options is presented below, but students are advised to visit Faculty websites for the most up-to-date information.
