Below is an enumeration of ASU’s programs and initiatives that support the five buckets in the NACIE sponsored university commitment letter.
=Student Entrepreneurship=
At ASU, entrepreneurship is about bringing innovative ideas out into the world. These ideas might be socially, economically, artistically or intellectually motivated, or some combination thereof.
At ASU, entrepreneurship is not concentrated in just the field of business, nor is it housed in an entrepreneurial institute or school. Instead, entrepreneurship opportunities are offered in and out of the classroom, and in a wide variety of programs departments and schools. These include:
The'''The Edson Student Entrepreneurship Initiative''' that harnesses the entrepreneurial energy, excitement and creativity of ASU’s student body. It provides funding, office space and training for teams of students across the university to explore their innovative ideas for business products and services. These teams typically work in partnership with faculty, researchers and successful entrepreneurs from both the academic and private sectors. The Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative has been made possible by an investment of $5.4 million from Orin Edson to the Arizona State University Foundation.
*'''Funding:''' The endowment provides a total of $200,000 annually in seed funding.
