Focus
The Center is dedicated to teaching and research in entrepreneurship. As entrepreneurship grows increasingly important in the economy and to peoples' careers, individuals who combine entrepreneurial initiative with advanced education in management, accounting, marketing and finance are well positioned for success. Too often, however, people trained for success in large companies lack skills that are useful or essential for starting and growing new ventures. The Weinert Center offers a concentration in management through the Management and Human Resources Department. Students in the program complete 18 credits in entrepreneurship and other related topics in preparation for roles as business owners, venture executives or consultants to smaller businesses.

History
The Center was created in 1987 and renamed in 1999 after James J. Weinert, an alumnus of the School of Business.
