However, IPRO courses are primarily reserved for junior and senior level students who have a couple years of knowledge within their respective majors(s). The goal is to implement more entrepreneurial courses in all majors here at IIT to allow a greater balance among course schedules in order for students to benefit after their studies.</span></span>

In a student’s first year, IIT would provide a general course for all majors on what is entrepreneurship and how can it be applicable to your studies. Right off the bat, students will know guidelines to entrepreneurship and can benefit them in determining whether or not exploring entrepreneurship is the right path to go. Testing the waters, so to speak.</span></span></span></li>
