Innovation and entrepreneurship resources exist almost entirely in the classroom with a focus almost exclusively on academics. There is no creative learn-by-doing approach available to students. What is available is limited, both intentionally and unintentionally, to business students. The broader picture of innovation and entrepreneurship is never realized as it remains contained in a limited set of single semester courses. Various innovation and entrepreneurship organizations appear to exist or have tried to exist but have had little sustaining success. This should not be confused with lack of student need or interest – in fact, there seems to be immense need and interest.

=== Faculty Vs Student Led Entrepreneurship<br/> ===
All known entrepreneurship that has existed at San Francisco State University has been faculty led, often with students are involved. An example of this is, a professor applying for a grant to start a project, hiring some students to participate and then deciding to keep the project going as a startup. In this case the students joined a professor's project.
== Envisioned Future State<br/> ==
Innovation and entrepreneurship resources are available to all students across disciplines both inside and outside the classroom in both academic and creative learn-by-doing approaches. Stronger community partnerships will be formed to utilize and connect to the vibrant innovation and entrepreneurship environment surrounding the campus. This future state will be student-led.
