School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences

The following members of the faculty are actively involved in teaching courses in innovation and entrepreneurship at the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences. As we continue to develop and expand the scope of our cross-disciplinary programs, we anticipate that members of the faculties of the other schools will be added to the list of those teaching courses in innovation and entrepreneurship.
