Brown University’s Master of Science (Sc.M.) in Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship goes beyond a traditional MBA. Students come from diverse backgrounds and undergraduate degrees but all share a valued interest in technology innovation and entrepreneurship, the process of creating, developing, and managing a new business venture in an existing field or a start-up. Sudents are encouraged to explore their individual academic interests at Brown through approved electives; cross registration at Harvard is an option for the fall semester.
A wide range of online resources are available, including academic databases, research tool, writing centers, online learning platforms, productivity tools like Canva and Microsoft Office, all allowing access to information, collaboration, and efficient project management from anywhere with an internet connection
Online classes are typically 2.5 to 3 hour duration Zoom video conferences. Synchronous Zoom video conference sessions will be conducted in the evening to assure maximum convenience. Some class discussions/simulations may also be done asynchronously using our Canvas learning management system. Sessions will be recorded to offer flexibility when needed
