A Degree in Entrepreneurship & Innovation with Jamie Kraft of UF Entrepreneurs

What does it mean to get a degree in entrepreneurship? This episode our guest Jamie Kraft of UF’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center gave us his insight!  

Jamie told us about the opportunities UF offers students that get them excited about starting their own companies. It seems like UF is teaching a lot more about entrepreneurship than it was when Collin was in college. Our hosts were thrilled to find out that these courses are being offered, and Collin wishes he had started at UF just a couple of years later.
