Bachelor of Innovation,

The Bachelor of Innovation Degree teaches students how to operate in teh real world. Its not about being an engineer and sitting inside a cubicle all day and neither is it aout being a manager who cannot communicate or understand anybody in his IT department. The BI family of degrees teaches students how to brainstorm, work in a team, get funding and know the Law and Business to make $$ out of their idea ... their innovation. Everyone’s got an idea. How do you turn that idea into something concrete that will benefit society as a whole? UCCS’s Bachelor of InnovationTM (BI) program prepares students for that challenge.
This first-of-its-kindfamily of degrees grounds students in engineering, business, communications, and entrepreneurship, giving students the breadth and depth needed to take an innovation to fruition. The BI launched in 2007 to bridge the gap that often exists between technical know-how and business savvy, says computer science professor and program director Terry Boult. Team building and real-world mentorships are as much a focus as traditional coursework. “Innovation requires collaboration,” Boult says. “To build an innovative culture, you need to get people together long enough to respect and relate with other people.”
