The School of Innovation & Entrepreneurship (SIE) was created to bring an entrepreneurial mindset to all disciplines. Our mission is to educate Rowan University students to understand global economic, social, political and environmental events, and recognize problems and opportunities as they impact emerging enterprises, non-profit entities and corporate extensions. Our flexible undergraduate entrepreneurship programs, which are offered both in-person and online, have consistently ranked among the best, securing the #1 spot in New Jersey for 2024 and placing within the Top 50 nationwide for 2022, 2023, and 2024 according to Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine.

Rowan entrepreneurship students are equipped with the skillset and mindset needed for success, regardless of whether their goal is to launch a technology company, a social enterprise or nonprofit, a small business or work as an intrapreneur in a large corporation or family business.

Rowan entrepreneurship graduates think differently about problems and work in a lean and efficient way to develop high-impact solutions. Our students are encouraged to understand entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship from global, national, local, firm and individual-level perspectives and to learn the dynamics through which individuals, teams and firms recognize opportunities and decide to take action to create, scale and lead new ventures.

Rowan’s entrepreneurship faculty are student-focused and action-oriented.
