Entrepreneurship is the ultimate learning experience. Electing to pursue a vision of your own lays out an associated learning roadmap. That's why I'm excited for University of Austin (read that twice) to kickoff their inaugural undergraduate class this fall. Austin's new private liberal arts and entrepreneurship college is the first new university the State of Texas' has approved to grant degrees in 50+ years. Students start with rigorous liberal arts coursework for two years before shifting focus to launching their own venture called a "Polaris Project" for junior and senior year. UATX recently announced their "Office of Entrepreneurship & Leadership" will be housed inside Capital Factory downtown Austin.
