Advance your career with the Kelley reputation for entrepreneurial leadership

EIA members are taught skills for positions of leadership in corporations, equity or venture capital firms. You can become an innovative thinker with the foresight for new business developments or strike out on your own.

The Entrepreneurial Innovation Academy extends classroom theories, giving you an experiential component that's unique from other MBA programs. When you combine your two-year Kelley MBA training with the innovative aspect of the EIA, you will become immersed in business leadership.

We present how to raise capital and perform due diligence when analyzing companies or industry gaps. Your Director connects you to leading CEOs who share their vision and experience to complete your training.

Dr. Donald F. Kuratko is the Entrepreneurial Innovation Academy Director and is ranked the #1 Entrepreneurship Program Director in the USA by his peers. As your Director, “Dr. K” gets to know you as a person—your goals and strengths—and works closely with you to maximize opportunities that may be a good fit for you.

EIA allows you to:

  • Partner with a highly respected Academy Director, an industry insider to guide your training
  • Take a deep dive into Entrepreneurial Innovation, the emerging life sciences and innovation
  • Become connected with leading company CEOs and top management for real-world vision and experiences
