Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurial Development (CIED)

The CAU Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurial Development was established to develop a campus-wide entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem. The center provides students, faculty, staff and alumni with opportunities to build their innovation and entrepreneurial skills through opportunities such as business and idea consulting, workshops, mentoring and business modeling. We also offer several modern activities for students to be prepared for the real world such as 3D printing and prototyping, drone flight training, gaming/e-sports, and fashion entrepreneurship to name a few.

Clark Atlanta University serves as a modern-day case study for what happens when underserved students are given the opportunity to thrive in an academic setting. Helping students reach their extraordinary potential is what we do best. Whether mass media arts or social work, the sciences, business administration, criminal justice, or psychology, CAU students are challenged with a rigorous curriculum and exceptional learning, culminating in a capstone project that brings together hands-on research, the use of technology, and presentation skills.

The Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurial Developments strives to help students secure their future by gaining the entrepreneurial and innovation skills needed to further their careers regardless of their chosen path.
