The Master of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MIE) provides extensive academic and practical experiences for those looking to accelerate their careers as entrepreneurs (innovating to form new companies) or intrapreneurs (innovating within existing companies). The program provides a deep dive into all aspects of the entrepreneurship process, including how to identify new venture opportunities, develop ideas through lean startup methodology, prepare a business plan, assemble a team, raise funds, and launch a new business. It is also rich in experiential learning opportunities within the UCI entrepreneurial ecosystem. Now available in either a 9-month or two-year format, the MIE is the only program of its kind in the UC System.
A MIE degree prepares you for the entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial career path of your choice:
Founding a company – starting a business from the ground up
Innovating the business - grow or scale a family business
Marketing & product development - drive growth in a marketing or communications role
Managing projects & teams - lead teams as a project or product manager.
