The W. P. Carey Entrepreneurship and Management program at the Johns Hopkins University is housed in the Center for Leadership Education in the Whiting School of Engineering and is open to all full-time students. The center focuses on student learning, both academic and of an experiential nature. With experiential learning in mind the center launched Hopkins Student Enterprises (HSE) in June 2006. A new hands-on learning opportunity for undergraduate students, HSE is loosely modeled on the student agency programs found at several Ivy League schools. The program creates opportunities for students to develop entrepreneurial ideas from concepts into actual businesses and gain the invaluable experience of managing a business. This paper describes the program's goals, planning and experimentation, structure, and implementation, including discussion of major issues and controversies regarding its formation.
