UMBC believes that entrepreneurship is the ability of an individual to identify a goal, provide the leadership and mobilize the assets necessary to reach that goal. As such, individuals taking the risk to push the envelope in science and technology, break ground in the creative arts or craft new solutions to society's problems are all entrepreneurs.

At UMBC, we believe in entrepreneurship. It is our mission to infuse the university with the thinking and attitude, activities and ideas that will inspire entrepreneurial accomplishment in all its forms.
