Entrepreneurship is one of the central pillars of the Syracuse University and Whitman School academic strategic plans. As part of these plans, multiple new faculty positions are being created in the standalone academic department of Entrepreneurship & Emerging Enterprises (EEE). The EEE department offers degree programs in entrepreneurship at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels. Its educational programs and research productivity are consistently ranked among the best in the United States. Among other accolades, the EEE program received the USASBE National Model Program Award in 2018. The faculty are highly research active and publish regularly in leading entrepreneurship and management journals (e.g. AMJ, JBV, SMJ, ETP and SEJ in the past few years). Faculty members also hold the Editor-in-Chief position at ETP, and editor positions at ETP and SBE. With eleven tenure-track research faculty positions, EEE represents one of the strongest entrepreneurship research environments in the world. Members of the research faculty include Alejandro Amezcua, Suho Han (starting Fall 2018), Mike Haynie, David Lucas (starting Fall 2018), Alex McKelvie, Maria Minniti, Todd Moss, David Park, Minet Schindehutte, and Johan Wiklund.
