The MRED program seeks an interdisciplinary student body that has academic credentials and the capacity to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. We have a strict selection process that requires students to demonstrate exceptional track records in undergraduate study, work experience and leadership endeavors. We evaluate the person’s whole record of performance and entrepreneurial ability. To maintain the personal scale of the program, entering classes are kept to fewer than 30 students per year.
