  • 1.  Canadian University Entrepreneurship Centres

    Posted 03-15-2017 12:24

    I am interested in finding out about Canadian Universities that have entrepreneurship centres that have become enmeshed throughout the whole university, or at least beyond the normal confines of business schools, computer science and engineering departments. These would be centres who have helped and involved in providing programing to students from all faculties and programing that is recognized by the student's faculty.

    Thank you

    Hi Albert: Here's one at U of T.  When I was managing entrepreneurship ventures for the NYS Office of Mental health specific to people with mental health challenges years back, I was in frequent touch with Dr. Church there who at the time was heavily engaged in those efforts. She may be retired now-but their site looks good.


    By the way, I will be presenting as a panelist on social entrepreneurship through self-employment for people with disabilities in June at the Belfast Employment for All Conference.  Here is a link if folks care to register.

    Hello Ilan:

    To the best of my knowledge, Saint Mary's University (Nova Scotia) is the only university in Canada with a Bachelor of Arts (Entrepreneurship).

    The Entrepreneurship Major in the BA degree requires five -- out of a suite of seven -- specialized entrepreneurship courses.   

    Registrants often come through our Spark Zone, our Business Development Centre and Enactus.

    Albert, great question. 

    Entrepreneurship is the core common function of the zone learning program at Ryerson University in Toronto Canada. Combining entrepreneurial experiential learning with deep domain knowledge. 

    You can learn more about it here: 


    Here is a summary from The presentation we just gave about zone learning at SXSW. 

    Over the last 5 years:

    -1185 innovators engaged, including students and founders
    -381 teams across 10 domains (eg legal, biomedical, digital, etc) mostly for profit ventures but some social projects too
    -more than 5000 jobs created


    For those who are interested here's the actual presentation:
