Schulze School of Entrepreneurship
The Schulze School of Entrepreneurship is part of the University of St. Thomas’ Opus
College of Business, and is located on the University’s downtown Minneapolis campus.
The Schulze School is home to the academic entrepreneurship degree programs, and
the various Centers and Institutes that provide entrepreneurial education to the local
business community.
At the Schulze School, we equip students with the knowledge and specific skills to be
successful entrepreneurs. Students can major in Entrepreneurship or take select
classes to learn how to successfully launch and grow a new business. St. Thomas
alumni who have started their own businesses have success rates several times higher
than national statistics; for businesses started by this group since 1990, eighty-eight
percent are still in operation.
The Schulze School offers entrepreneurship courses in the University’s undergraduate,
MBA, and EMBA programs. The curriculum prepares graduates to start their own
business, buy and grow an existing business, enter into a family business or work for an
existing business. They learn to identify business opportunities, master the skills to
operate a business, and develop a fundable business plan. These skills also prepare
students to lead an existing organization, create a new division in a corporation, or to
launch of new products/services. Our goal: infuse entrepreneurial thinking throughout
the Opus College of Business and the University of St. Thomas.
Schulze Hall

lab including eight student business development offices, and a 330 seat auditorium.
