This program is sponsored through the generosity of the Cagni Foundation - in partnership with NYU Stern and HEC Paris. The HEC Entrepreneurship program consists of two components – the HEC Startup Launchpad and the HEC Incubator (Station F) - for a total of 16 NYU credits for the semester. The program only takes place in the Spring semester, and accepts up to three NYU Stern Undergraduate students each year. Please note: You must apply for the HEC Entrepreneurship program during the regular IBEX application process - so you must apply approximately a year and a half before you will actually go abroad for this experience.

Fast Facts

Location:

The entire Entrepreneurship program will take place in Paris – not on the HEC campus. Students will live in downtown Paris for the duration of the program.

Term Dates:

The program is only available in the Spring semester. It runs from mid-January to the end of May. Students who participate in the HEC Entrepreneurship program will need to dedicate all of their time to the program and will not be able to take other HEC courses.

Language of Instruction:

This is an English-language program so French language experience is strongly encouraged but not required.
