The HBCU Entrepreneurship
Education Institute

The HBCU Entrepreneurship Education Institute (HBCU EEI), is an initiative to share pedagogy best practices and train HBCU faculty (across disciplines) in teaching entrepreneurship. This initiative, supported by the HBCU Business Deans Roundtable, has the broad goal to facilitate the the improvement and access to entrepreneurship education information, resources, and best practices. This includes the creation of a web-based repository of educational materials (e.g., course syllabi, course outlines, activities, etc.), a webinar/seminar series of leading entrepreneurship educators, and an online collaboration/mentoring forum. The program also features advisory fellows who serve as mentors to other HBCU faculty in implementation of entrepreneurship curriculum, courses, and other learning opportunities.
