Student Survey: Entrepreneurship at Your College or University


We're working to boost innovation and entrepreneurship across colleges and universities — and we’d love to hear what you think!

This quick survey (just 5–7 minutes) is for students like you. We want to understand your experience, thoughts, and ideas about entrepreneurship at your college or university — what’s working, what’s missing, and what could be improved.

The survey includes multiple-choice, ranking, and open-ended questions. Your answers are completely confidential and will only be used for research as part of this project.

As a thank you, at the end, you can choose to share your name and email to be entered into a draw to win a 1-year MasterClass subscription! Note: Your contact details will only be used for prize notification.

Thanks so much for your time — your feedback will help improve how colleges and universities support students like you in the future.
