The 1-year program includes business courses covering finance, marketing, strategy, leadership, project management, quality, operations research, and ethics as well as science and/or engineering electives and a capstone thesis project. The program primarily admits students who have received bachelor's degrees in science, engineering, or mathematics, or have equivalent experience in these fields. It claims to be unique in the sense that it puts students in the context of a real-time startup environment and requires students to outline a business plan, financial model, and marketing strategy for existing or ongoing research by Notre Dame students, professors, or industry partners.[1] The program confers approximately 30 M.S. in Engineering, Science, and Technology Entrepreneurship degrees each year. ## History Main article: [History of the University of Notre Dame](/source/History_of_the_University_of_Notre_Dame) Founded in 1842 by a priest of the [Congregation of Holy Cross](/source/Congregation_of_Holy_Cross), Notre Dame is an independent, national Catholic research university located adjacent to the city of [South Bend, Indiana](/source/South_Bend%2C_Indiana), in a metropolitan area of more than 300,000 residents approximately 90 miles east of [Chicago](/source/Chicago).
