This article presents a model for scaling up entrepreneurship education universitywide. It addresses the nature of existing entrepreneurship education and proposes that entrepreneurship should be made available to all interested students as part of general education and capstone courses. Entrepreneurship is presented as a valuable set of skills for all students regardless of their career path or type of organization they join. An integrated model proposes that the core discipline, business skills, and practice in the community are essential to learn entrepreneurship. An entrepreneurship competency model and student journey, along with guiding principles, are presented to help implement the model. The universitywide program includes three main components: 1) the undergraduate minor, 2) the graduate certificate, and 3) commercialization councils.
