Master of Science (Professional) in Engineering, Science and Technology Entrepreneurship

The University of Notre Dame Engineering, Science, and Technology Entrepreneurship Excellence Program (ESTEEM) offers the opportunity for students with a bachelor's degree in science or engineering to obtain a Master of Science in Engineering, Science, and Technology Entrepreneurship in just one year. The objective of the program is to provide students with the business skills necessary to translate inventions into commercial ventures, all while strengthening students' science and/or engineering skills. ESTEEM emphasizes the action of entrepreneurship, not just the study of it. By the time they graduate, due to the rigorous academic experience, exposure to real-life business ventures, and exceptional mentorship, ESTEEM students find their technical skills impactful and marketable in a rapidly changing economy. Students are launched into career tracks outside of narrow technical roles, taking positions of leadership at the intersection of business and innovation. Over the course of this 11-month master of science degree program at the University of Notre Dame, students from technical backgrounds are equipped with the skills and experience to launch new businesses, become innovators within large corporations, and be leaders of dynamic, innovative teams. Students are immersed in an entrepreneurial sandbox, where they get their hands dirty with entrepreneurship and innovation through a cutting-edge curriculum, a capstone commercialization project for an emerging technology, and outstanding out-of-the-classroom experiences.

A bachelor's degree or its equivalent, as well as an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or greater on a 4.0 scale.
