Features:

  • Experienced Faculty: The founders of the program, Dr. JoAnn Carland and Dr. Jim Carland earned Ph.Ds from the University of Georgia and published more than 70 articles in scholarly journals, 200 articles in conference proceedings, and a dozen books. JoAnn and Jim taught for more than 30 years and were  the recipients of many teaching awards and recognitions. They turned their hands to curriculum design and developed and implemented the first Master of Entrepreneurship degree program in the U.S. They were recognized for having created the best example of graduate entrepreneurship training by the USASBE in 2005. Scholar Entrepreneurs, JoAnn and Jim co-founded the first of more than a dozen companies in 1980, a software development company which designed the first integrated accounting system in the U.S., and grew from sales of $200,000 in 1980 to $2 million in 1981. They also turned their entrepreneurial bent to the not for profit arena, establishing the Allied Academies in 1995. Allied now has 15 affiliates and supports the publication of 17 journals. All AU professors hold doctoral degrees and bring extensive teaching experience from major U.S. universities to the classroom.
