Knowledge Transfer & Entrepreneurship
In line with its mission to accelerate the rate of innovation nationally and globally, the Eller College actively works to transfer knowledge sets developed within the academic community to outside commercial ventures, introducing technologies into the competitive marketplace and the realms of social and environmental advancement.
Much of the Eller College's knowledge transfer initiatives occur
through the McGuire

which has offered a highly ranked, formal degree program since
1984.
