The University of Michigan will soon open its doors to the inaugural class in its innovative MS in Entrepreneurship program, a program devoted to radically reducing the time entrepreneurs spend in the “school of hard knocks.”
My curiosity about this program led to an informative interview with Anne Perigo, Associate Program Director at the University of Michigan’s new Master of Entrepreneurship Program.
