For the would-be (and current) entrepreneur, this is an exciting time to be at Champlain College. Our Bring Your Own Business (BYOBiz) program is a unique opportunity designed to help young entrepreneurs grow their businesses while they earn their college degree.

The College is Your Resource

The BYOBiz program offers a unique blend of targeted course selections, mentoring networks and community support to help student entrepreneurs build their businesses successfully while they earn their college degree. Our goal is to create a powerful support network and training ground for student entrepreneurs. You’ll have a full slate of resources available to you. Ultimately, you will be able to balance growing your business and going to class here at Champlain.

Built-In Networking

The College will plug you into a network of on- and off-campus support. We’ll help you with logistics. We’ll introduce you to the other student entrepreneurs. And we’ll hook you up with the professors and business people outside the college who can mentor you and help grow your business.

Entrepreneurs' Club

Our new Entrepreneurs' Club was designed for those students whose business ideas are still being formed. The club is open to students in any major who have an interest in running their own business, and will funnel members with newly developed business plans into the BYOBiz program.

BYOBiz Speaker Series

Champlain’s BYOBiz Speaker Series brings knowledgeable individuals to campus to provide first-hand accounts about what it’s like to start and grow your own business. The series focuses on entrepreneurship, and covers a wide range of business topics of interest to future and current entrepreneurs.
