The Richard J. Wehle School of Business strongly emphasizes hands-on experience in addition to a high-quality curriculum. The Entrepreneurship program provides many opportunities to put classroom learning into practice. The internship experience allows students to find out more about a potential career field and gain valuable networking contacts. 

Students are also encouraged to develop their own businesses, both real and simulated. Many junior and senior entrepreneurship majors have actually created and run their own company. This practical experience is reinforced through a working relationship with the Canisius College Women's Business Center (WBC). Entrepreneurs are regularly invited to presentations and activities sponsored by the WBC.
