About the Center

 

The Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CIE) was established with a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Activities and programs available through the CIE are designed to support and strengthen the existing programs and infrastructure in entrepreneurship across PVAMU campuses. This enables the Center to serve all students in all disciplines at Prairie View A&M University.

  • Entrepreneurs are the ones that make things happen. That takes focus, diligence, discipline, flexibility and perseverance. They can take an innovative idea and make it impactful. Successful entrepreneurs are also ones who take challenges in stride, adapt and adjust plans to accommodate whatever problems do come up.
