About the program · 2 linked sources
Horn Entrepreneurship is the University of Delaware's hub for experiential venture learning. The official page says it provides mentoring, funding opportunities, competitions, collaborative workspace, and hands-on programs for UD students, alumni, faculty, researchers, and community members. It states that Horn is the cornerstone of the Neil Book School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, where the academic entrepreneurship programs are housed. The page publishes $156 million in funding for student and alumni ventures, more than 2,600 hours of mentorship annually, and 105 majors from all UD colleges engaged. A May 12, 2026 UDaily item linked from Horn program pages reports that the Board of Trustees voted on May 11 to establish the Neil Book School inside the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics.
