The entrepreneurship program caps off with E3 Expo. Held every spring, E3 Expo is an annual pitch competition event at Emerson College, celebrating creativity in business. Students showcase their ventures and compete for monetary awards and donated services to help launch their business. 

From Ideas to Market

Throughout the year, the Entrepreneurial Studies minor guides the students to formulate their own ideas, build around them and then figure out the strategy necessary to bring them to market over the course of two semesters. The program culminates with an annual capstone event called E3 Expo that highlights the comprehensive work students complete during the program and the chance to get a business off the ground by competing for start-up funds.
