The Schools · where founders come from
College & Graduate School of Arts & Sciences
The largest student body at UVA.
Overview
Arts & Sciences students are UVA’s largest community of founders. They make up 78% of the University-wide Entrepreneurship Minor, compete in the E-Cup’s Social Entrepreneurship and Consumer tracks, and join the Batten i.Lab, and the Foundry on The Corner is open to every one of them. The breadth of the College, from economics and computer science to the humanities, gives its founders the range of perspective that strong ventures need.
- Entrepreneurship Minor — administered by McIntire, open to every A&S major; 78% of its students are in A&S
- Minor in Social Entrepreneurship — anchored at the Batten School
- The Foundry — open to any student, any discipline, no application
- A&S teams in the 2026 Batten i.Lab summer cohort
