About the Center for Entrepreneurship & Economic Education

Economic education encompasses important skill-building endeavors. As adults, we are called upon to make economic decisions every day of our lives. However, this crucial life skill is virtually ignored in elementary and secondary education. For those who attend college, an economics course is often too little, too late. Those who forego college may never be educated in economics and, therefore, are seriously disadvantaged.

Mission

The Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Education at the University of Missouri-St. Louis works to increase the quantity and enhance the quality of entrepreneurship and economics taught in K-12 classrooms through teacher education and curriculum development.
