Olin Business School

The Olin School of Business has launched its new “Olin Cup” entrepreneurship competition with an emphasis on life sciences, medicine, and technology start-ups, as well as other student started ventures. Start-up companies will vie for $70,000 in seed capital funding for their new businesses. Entrepreneurs and students can now review the program guidelines and register for the competition online.

A new residential Executive MBA program is beginning next September at the John M. Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis. Classes will meet just once a month from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the business school’s Charles F. Knight Executive Education Center. The program grants a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Washington University in only 18 months.
