The campus ecosystem of Washington State University of Vancouver in terms of entrepreneurship and innovation is a developing one. Multiple programs and courses seek to generate awareness and the importance of entrepreneurial fundamentals to students and there are many outlets available to help students realize this importance and get involved in a deeper way. Entrepreneurship is promoted well in multiple programs that include accounting, computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering, business administration and digital technology. Under the direction of Dr. Joseph A. Cote, a professor of Marketing at WSUV, students are open to a course on small business policy which emphasizes information on market analysis, new product introduction, and stake holder contributions.
