Resources provided within the program include the Thomas F. Cone Sr. Center for Entrepreneurship, which offers co-curricular learning opportunities for student-run businesses both on and off campus. The center assists students in building businesses from concept inception to actual implementation and management. Approximately 3,500 square feet of prime, street-accessible retail space in the Curb Event Center on campus has been reserved for entrepreneurship students to use and develop retail or service businesses. The Hatchery is Belmont’s entrepreneur co-working space available for those students starting or developing businesses, providing a basic infrastructure and collaborative meeting space.

Additionally, our students are advised by faculty, staff and other local entrepreneurs as part of the Belmont Entrepreneurship Network. Other resources available to students include free legal clinics, accounting clinics and practicing entrepreneur roundtables.

Entrepreneurship alumni have gone on to work in and found a range of business models, including in the fields of technology, food and beverage, consulting, entertainment, retail goods and marketing. Graduates who don’t start their own business will find careers in entrepreneurial businesses owned by others or in traditional corporate settings.
