USASBE Entrepreneurship Education National Awards
The Nature & Character of the Awards
The purpose of the USASBE Entrepreneurship Education National Awards is to identify, recognize, celebrate and publicize excellence in entrepreneurship education in all forms and at all levels. Because programs, courses and pedagogy typically evolve over time, each of these awards can be won more than once by any particular organization or individual. However, once any organization or individual has won the award in a particular category, that organization or individual cannot seek the same award again for a period of ten years.
Award Categories
USASBE will recognize excellence in entrepreneurship education with awards made at the 2009 National meeting in seven categories:
National Model Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Program
National Model MBA Entrepreneurship Program
National Model Ph.D. Entrepreneurship Program
Outstanding Specialty Entrepreneurship Program
