Students involved in entrepreneurship at Boise State University have the opportunity to turn their dreams into reality by working with faculty to develop their ideas through class projects, by participating in our business plan and elevator pitch competitions and through internships with local businesses.  Some do so as part of an undergraduate program, others as part of a graduate program.  All of them can use the opportunities at the university as a means to achieving thier goals whether that be a new product or service idea or a game changing company concept.   A few of our success stories are listed below.
