Future Students

The Bioscience Entrepreneurship Program’s year-long curriculum consists of two semester courses and a summer internship.  The first course introduces undergraduate juniors and graduate students to the process of technology commercialization, from invention to marketing to funding, via a hands-on interdisciplinary, team-based project, accompanied by advice from local and regional entrepreneurs, investors, technology transfer office directors and legal experts. The paid summer internship introduces students to some aspect of a career involving the intersection of law, bioscience and business.  In the fall course, students again work in interdisciplinary teams to create a business start-up or licensing plan for a bioscience technology from either the Creighton Office of Intellectual Resources Management or the Nebraska Medical Center’s UNeMed.
