The University of Houston-Victoria School of Business Administration successfully launched the Master of Science in Economic Development and Entrepreneurship this fall 2006 semester.  A total of 35 students enrolled in the program this semester.  By combining traditional economic development and entrepreneurship, the program offers students a complete understanding of the economic development process.  No other program in the United States combines equally the disciplines of economic development and entrepreneurship to provide the student a holistic view of economic growth.
