Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science (See http://partnersforsustainability.org/curriculum/).

Entrepreneurship is one of the central pillars of the Syracuse University and Whitman School academic strategic plans, as demonstrated by the presence of the standalone academic Department of Entrepreneurship & Emerging Enterprises (EEE).
