At the University of Washington's Foster School of Business, the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship runs several undergraduate programs including the Lavin Entrepreneurship Program, the Foster School's entrepreneurship minor (open to non-business students) and the entrepreneurship option (for business students). The Buerk Center also runs some graduate programs, including the certificate in entrepreneurship, the PhD in technology entrepreneurship and several graduate-level fellowships.
