Overview
Clark Atlanta University is a comprehensive, private, urban, coeducational institution of higher education with a predominantly African-American heritage. It offers undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees as well as certificate programs to students of diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The University was established in 1988 through the consolidation of its two parent institutions, Atlanta University (1865), the nation's first institution to award graduate degrees to African Americans, and Clark College (1869) the nation's first four-year liberal arts college to serve a primarily African-American student population.
Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship

CBUS 382 - Marketing the Entrepreneurial Venture
CBUS 481 - Entrepreneurial Practicum
CBUS 482 Business Law for Entrepreneurs
CBUS 484 Small Business Management
2.2 Events
Lead Week - I is an annual event sponsored by the School of Business which raises awareness in the areas of entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, social media, mass media, innovation and alumni affairs.
Capstone Projects- Are an integral part of the schools commitment to supporting project based learning. There are a number of capstone projects predominantly in the Arts & Sciences department.
Speaker Series- a few workshops and speakers that promote entrepreneurship. There is a freshman success speaker series along with a case competition workshop that took place this year. In my opinion this is an area that the university can improve on. It would take very little effort to increase the number of events and workshops on campus.
Regional and Local Development Efforts
Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Active Support in the University Technology Transfer Function
The CAU Office of Technology Transfer (T2)- is responsible for managing the protection and licensing of CAU discoveries with potential commercial value. By using intellectual property law to protect discoveries with potential commercial value, our office can hopefully encourage interested companies to invest the resources necessary to turn an early stage academic discovery into a commercial product.
