Overview
As a team of four Biological Sciences majors at the University of Notre Dame, we are striving to assess and improve the innovation and entrepreneurship landscape on campus. Our search has led us to analyze courses, clubs, workshops, competitions, programs and more that are aligned in the quest to galvanize the innovative and entrepreneurial thinking on campus. By conducting such a thorough investigation, we now may realize deficiencies and work to fill in these gaps, create infrastructure to connect disjointed efforts, and reach more students with the hope of generating a higher level of creativity.
Academics
Undergraduate Course Offerings
A survey of the course offerings at Notre Dame reveals the presence of entrepreneurial classes as well as courses that incorporate an innovative approach. These courses span several departments and fields of study, including Entrepreneurship, Biological Sciences, Engineering, Energy Studies, and Sustainability. Many of these courses are cross-listed, but not all undergraduates have access to a course in entrepreneurship as of Fall 2014. The Gigot Center for Entrepreneurship offers a Management-Entrepreneurship Major, but it is in the process of being phased out due to low demand. In its place will be an Entrepreneurship Minor accessible first by Business students and eventually to all students. The following list details the I&E and experiential courses offered to Notre Dame undergraduates:
- BAEN 30500 Intro to Entrepreneurship
- BAEN 30505 Social Entrepreneurship
- BAEN 30506 Microventuring Consulting
- BAEN 30510 Entrepreneurship: Go to Market
- BAEN 30520 Funding New Ventures

Entrepreneurial Framework
The hub of entrepreneurship at Notre Dame is the Gigot Center for Entrepreneurship in the Mendoza College of Business. In the Gigot Center is housed the Entrepreneurship Major/Minor, the Entrepreneurship Advisory Board, and the Entrepreneurs in Residence. The Gigot Center is also home to many of the entrepreneurial programs and events on campus, including Irish Impact and the McCloskey Business Plan Competition.
Outside of the Gigot Center, there exist several research facilities on campus, including the Galvin Center for the Life Sciences, Stepan Biochemistry Research Facility, Harper Cancer Research Institute, Stinson-Remmick Engineering Research, and Fitzpatrick Hall of Engineering. Notre Dame is especially known for its research in the growing fields of nanotechnology and sustainable energy.
Future Directions
Recognizing the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship for the future, the university has promoted current Dean of the College of Science, Dr. Gregory Crawford, to position of Vice President and Associate Provost of Notre Dame. His charge in the coming years will be to expand Notre Dame to the West Coast by promoting collaboration with companies in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. As faculty administrators work to create opportunities and partnerships in California, there is no better time that now to evaluate the current campus landscape and culture to further promote innovation in the future.
