== Student innovation and entrepreneurship ==
Texas A&M has support for students to learn about and become involved with entrepreneurship. These programs, like <u>Startup Aggieland</u> and <u>Aggies in Business,</u> are generally new and constantly evolving.
The <u>Mays Business School Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship</u> provides undergraduate and graduate certificates for entrepreneurship. They support student entrepreneurship as well as faculty and the local community with competitions and lecture series to inspire and educate.
