Our Mission
The National Center for Entrepreneurship is an innovative resource network focused on enhancing entrepreneurship education at Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) and empowering entrepreneurs around the country. The National Center enhances the success and growth of businesses through providing programming, capital, curriculum, research, and other resources in collaboration with HBCUs and their surrounding communities.
Regional Centers
The Center is located on Howard University’s campus, but also includes programming at four regional HBCUs, which coordinate programs, research and other community outreach efforts at partner HBCUs across the country. Howard University, Morgan State University, Clark Atlanta University and Texas Southern University, each lead one of the four regions to allow for effective coordination of programs and activities across all HBCUs, including education programs, research strategies and business outreach.
