EPG is a multi-year, interdisciplinary program that seeks to teach Berea students skills in Entrepreneurial Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship. Every year, 20 students are admitted into the program and for 7 weeks during the summer. They attend classes, travel across the Appalachian region and work on economic development projects in the region.
In addition to the wonderful experiences, each student also receives a $3,000 stipend and 2 class credits (Afr Amer, Appl, Wmn Perspective & Active Learning Perspective).
