Changes

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Loyola University Maryland has recently introduced a minor in Innovation and Entrepeneurship.&nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Loyola University Maryland minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship highlights innovation and nurtures an entrepreneurial mindset. Through this 18-credit program, students develop the capacity to identify commercially or socially viable products and learn how to bring them to market through a new venture or within an existing organization.&nbsp;</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">The faculty at Loyola University Maryland also need greater encouragement to pursue I&E ventures in their research. &nbsp;Before the professors are tenured their research is scientifically based, with papers and theses following. &nbsp;Once the professor is tenured a contract is set in place for further research, but at present very few of these contracts lead to entrepreneurial research. &nbsp;A trend is in place for more accountable and funded research. &nbsp;However, until professors on Loyola’s campus are supported in innovation and creativity based studies, a key aspect of the I&E environment on campus will still be lacking.</span>
