This is the first time we've entered this prestigious competition because our program is still new. John's success in making the semi-finals is positive feedback for the other students, showing them that hard work and creativity can pay off. Entrepreneurship is one of the fastest growing fields of study in business schools, with more than 750 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs nationwide. The business plan competition was launched jointly in 1998 by the Page Center of Entrepreneurship at Miami University and the Midwest Entrepreneurial Education Center at Ball State University to recognize entrepreneurship as a burgeoning area of interest. Nine semi-finalists have been chosen from a pool of more than 30 prominent business schools.
Contestants come from around the United States, Canada and even Sweden.
