Entrepreneurial Education Program Links
The following are links from The Arts Entrepreneuship Educator's Network which is devoted to preserving America's artistic capital. The Ae2n site keeps an up to date list of specific Entrepreneurial course offerings and programs which are currently already in existence, or currently being developed, in University Programs across the country. As a result of arts programs on university campuses nationwide varying greatly in artistic offerings, size and scope, this list of program offerings below reflects the same level of diversity and fragmentation.
