Entrepreneurship Skills for Our Community

 

At UBalt, we believe entrepreneurship is a life skill that benefits everyone. That’s why we created the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

At the Center, you can meet with counselors to discuss your business ideas, take part in competitions, talk with mentors and much more. Plus, when you graduate, we’ll still be here to support you.

By the Numbers

Entrepreneurs and startup employees often report higher levels of job satisfaction compared to traditional corporate roles. A study by Gallup found that entrepreneurs tend to have higher levels of engagement and purpose in their work, leading to greater overall job satisfaction.
6 in 10
According to a Shopify-Gallup Entrepreneurship study most Americans share the desire to be their own boss. More than six in 10 U.S. adults (62%) say they would prefer to be their own boss, while 35% would prefer to work as an employee for someone else.
30
Startups are known for their rapid growth and innovation. According to a study by CB Insights, 29% of unicorns (startups valued at over $1 billion) were founded by entrepreneurs under the age of 30. This demonstrates the significant opportunities for career advancement and financial success within the startup ecosystem.
72%
A survey by Harvard Business Review found that 72% of startup employees believe their experience has made them more entrepreneurial because they requires wearing multiple hats and tackling diverse challenges.

 

What Our Graduates Do

The career options for our graduates are as limitless as their imaginations. Many start their own businesses with the support of our Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Others go on to use their entrepreneurial skills to become managers at larger businesses in the community. But, they all have the same spirit that makes entrepreneurs who they are: a sense of ownership and motivation that distinguishes them from the crowd.

We started in 1925 in Baltimore with a simple mission—to offer access to life-changing educational opportunities tailored to working adults. In the evening hours, long after traditional schools closed, students came to our urban campus to achieve their goals, one class at a time. Those classes—and how they are offered—have evolved, but our mission holds true. Learn more about the University of Baltimore story.
