Innovation Scholars Program

Innovation Scholars offers a unique opportunity for multidisciplinary teams of liberal art students to explore the intersection of science, healthcare and medicine, economics, business, and entrepreneurship. Students work as a team to analyze real innovations and challenges in real time. Led by MBA students, teams of undergraduates research and recommend next steps for inventions and new products in development at Mayo Clinic and at early-stage medical companies in Medical Alley.

Innovation Scholars is a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to explore the processes of technology transfer in biomedicine and healthcare. Read more about the program here and talk with Macalester mentors Pete Ferderer and Felix Friedt (Economics) and Liz Jansen and Elena Tonc (Biology).
