If you’re going to train and inspire entrepreneurs, wouldn’t it make sense to do so in an educational environment that is entrepreneurial by design?

That’s exactly what the University of Waterloo did when it established its Masters of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology (MBET) program at the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business.

Where Conrad stands out is that it is actually entrepreneurial by design. We are blessedly unburdened by the traditional MBA form. We have established a by-design, purpose-built, immersive educational experience for entrepreneurs at the graduate level, and that’s a huge advantage for accomplishing the kinds of outcomes we are looking for.
