Department Summary

Founded in 1989, the Charles H. Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship (LCE) has supported innovative students, faculty, researchers, and programs for over 35 years.

In addition, the center supports student clubs and student advising, and it facilitates a number of co-curricular programs and resources such as speaker series, hackathons, pitch competitions and seed-funding opportunities. Together these activities have fostered a number of successful startup ventures and have dramatically enhanced the innovation mindset and skill sets of a wide array students. This has led the center to be ranked in the top 25 in both the Princeton Review and Poets & Quants in recent years .

Although LCE has an explicit cross-campus mission, it is formally housed in the Lundquist College of Business.

The college works cooperatively with other UO colleges and schools to prepare students for a broad range of career paths.
