The Master of Science Degree in Entrepreneurship in Applied Technologies

The Master of Science Degree in Entrepreneurship in Applied Technologies (MS EAT) is a unique, innovative, and interdisciplinary program.  The course of study is administered through the Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of South Florida, in conjunction with the Colleges of Business, Engineering, and Health.

This program consolidates Entrepreneurship education and training into a single interdisciplinary program. Specific courses in opportunity recognition, technology and market assessment, technology commercialization, new venture formation, and new venture financing are taught within the participating colleges.  The program allows for completion within a concentrated one-year (12-month) period or within a maximum five-year period.  An individual who has obtained a bachelor's degree in any area of study and meets the application criteria is invited to apply.

The Master of Science Degree in Entrepreneurship may be taken in conjunction with the MBA, Bio-Medical Engineering, Public Health, and other various degree programs. A maximum of two graduate degrees may be pursued concurrently.  Approval to pursue a dual degree program is contingent upon fulfilling the admissions criteria for each individual program.
