The Center for Entrepreneurship

A new era of entrepreneurship starts here! Coming fall 2024.

Transylvania’s Center for Entrepreneurship encourages students in any academic major to pursue their passion, promoting creativity and innovation and providing exposure to a vast range of entrepreneurial career paths.

The Transylvania Center for Entrepreneurship Leadership Council brings together successful entrepreneurs, including a number of alumni to provide mentorship and develop opportunities for student entrepreneurs.

Our vision is to be Kentucky’s leading destination for students interested in developing their entrepreneurial thinking and skills as part of Transylvania University’s outstanding liberal arts education. We’re excited to begin our new era thanks to the support of so many in our community.
