= Background = <div>The University of Oregon is a public research University located in Eugene Oregon and founded in 1876. Our University is a rated very high on research activity and is the main flagship public university in Oregon. The institution is divided into eight individual schools including: school of architecture and allied arts (AAA), the college of arts and sciences, Charles H Lundquist College of Business, College of Education, Robert D Clark Honors College, School of Journalism and Communication, School of Law, School of Music and Dance. The university has multiple research institutes which include the areas of molecular biology, neuroscience, optics and materials. <br/></div><div><br/></div><div>In the fall of 2018, the UO has broken ground for the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact which aims to provide highly interdisciplinary, world-class science experience to students as well as additional training in innovation, communication and entrepreneurialism. <br/></div><div><br/></div><div>One of the goals of the campus is to face global challenges in a well designed space that supports interactive discovery, leading to research that seeds start-up companies. Additionally the UO has recently offered the Product Design Program, which allows students to learn theories and applied practices of art, architecture and design to creative collaborative opportunities across disciplines. The program is still very new and growing but is deeply rooted in hands on learning where students can learn to develop projects from a personal, local and global perspective. <br/></div><div><br/></div><div>Currently, the entrepreneurship program at Oregon is driven by a mission to educate, inspire and empower the future of entrepreneurs by instilling in students the characteristics of innovation, initiative, accountability and dedication. The Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship (LCE) combines a foundation of theory with hands-on learning that fosters the mindset of a successful entrepreneur. Oregon believes its students are very career oriented, networked and inspired individuals. </div><div><br/></div><div>A majority of the curriculum curricula that are defined and structured in LCE are: recognizing and evaluating business opportunities, venture planning and implementation, developing and commercializing new products, legal, financial and operational considerations for startups.
