"Employee number four at Arteriocyte came to us originally as a commercialization assistant (intern) from STEP. His entrepreneurial "get it done" attitude, excellent problem solving skills, and knowledge of both science and business have been a critical asset to our startup. We have since hired five more STEP students, all who have been instrumental in the rapid growth of our company."
-Don Brown, CEO,
Arteriocyte, Inc

What were you born to do?
If your answer is "be a leader", "be an innovator", or "build new enterprises or companies", then join us! The award-winning Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Program (STEP) is a three or four semester professional Master of Science degree offered in the areas of biotechnology, chemistry and physics. You will study graduate-level science, business, and innovation while you work on a project with an existing company or create your own startup. STEP will connect you with mentors, advisors, partners, funding sources and job opportunities.
STEP was formed in 1999 and continues to grow. We recruit scientists who have a "get-it-done" attitude and a passion for creating and launching new things. STEP graduates now hold job positions that include CTOs, program managers, project managers, and business development associates with companies ranging from startups to Fortune 100 (for instance, STEP students hold the positions of Senior Program Manager at Microsoft, Project Manager at Genentech, and Project Manager at Arteriocyte), as well as independent consultants. Many of our students start their own companies.
When you join STEP, you become part of the thriving entrepreneurial culture of Case Western Reserve
University (CWRU) and Northeast Ohio (NEO). CWRU
ranks consistently among the top 40 colleges and
universities in the United States (#1 in Ohio) and is home to
world-renowned people, libraries, databases, IT, teaching and
research in the arts, sciences, engineering, medicine,
law, business, design, and social sciences. CWRU
is also home to over 20 entrepreneurship-based
organizations and programs, many of which are cross-disciplinary.
In 2006, Entrepreneur Magazine ranked
NEO higher than San Francisco, Boston, and Seattle
as a hot region for entrepreneurs. Browse Case.edu and Nortech.org for a taste of the exciting things that are happening at CWRU and Northeast Ohio, respectively.
STEP students range in age from mid-twenties through early fifties,
and have a bachelor's, master's, or PhD in a science-related field. Most STEP students have post-academic
work experience or significant co-operative or internship experience during their undergraduate careers.
