The creation of the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship will encourage the growth of interdisciplinary entrepreneurship at Florida State University. At the same time, the creation of the College will extend the reach and impact of Jim Moran, a visionary entrepreneur and his commitment to the study, support and advancement of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs to a national level. We are the largest university in the country that teaches entrepreneurship from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. In addition, no other university ties its entrepreneurship curriculum to a set of broad-based outreach programs designed to help entrepreneurs and small businesses. The Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship will coordinate all Entrepreneurs-in-Residence (EIR) to build bridges and promote an understanding about the Entrepreneurial University Initiative (EUI) across campus and beyond. The school will work closely with the campus community, the local/regional communities, and alumni to advocate for the Entrepreneurial University Initiative.
