Developing an entrepreneurial spirit is a pivotal part of the student experience. The Olin Business University has strong relationships with the vibrant St. Louis entrepreneurship initiative—and this is just the beginning.

Whether they are involved with a start-up, as a consulting individual for a massive corporation, or working with a non-profit, students are tasked with prioritizing innovation and invention to address the changing fabric of the world today.

St. Louis, whether it is called “River City,” Gateway City,” or “Baseball Heaven,” is an immensely lively city, rife with spirited entertainment and diverse amusements, designed to suit any and all interests. The Washington University and Olin university are located just minutes away from fun, recreational facilities, such as art and history museums, a science centre, a skating rink, a world-class zoo, and the iconic symphony orchestra. St. Louis boasts of popularly known Major League sports teams as well as great restaurants, shopping avenues, musical events, and a rich nightlife that makes the city come alive.

Experiential learning, whether just around the corner or spread across the globe, provides students and young adults with a broader perspective on the world and an appreciation for diverse cultures in every nook and cranny. Throughout their education at Olin, they are exposed to senior leadership and professional skill-sets and are actively involved in high-profile decision-making. This helps them develop the confidence and self-assurance to branch out beyond their comfort zone and explore myriad opportunities.

At Olin University, they lead with the ideology that every business leader needs a certain sense of familiarity and practice with the resource material, the essence of global business ideologies, and critical global issues. To inculcate these core values, they offer a full-time MBA program ranging over six-weeks which provides an immersive global experience for the student. Their curriculum is informed by key global priorities so that students are honed with an understanding of global values, no matter the level or location of their future organizations.

This fosters relationships that provide many opportunities for continuous achievement.
