Overview

The Johnson & Wales University Food & Beverage Entrepreneurship program will teach you what it takes to launch your own venture, from developing a business plan to managing resources, marketing and growth. Courses in entrepreneurship combine with traditional business classes outlining strategies for kickstarting your own business, joining an emerging venture, or working as a corporate entrepreneur in food‐ or beverage‐related industries.

Work with expert faculty, as well as business and community leaders, at our Larry Friedman Center for Entrepreneurship, where you will find the resources to help support making your business ideas a reality. Experiential opportunities provide you with the practical skills to identify opportunities and solve problems that you’d encounter launching a business.
