The Department has a post-doctoral fellowship program that provides important academic support and leadership to five institutes and centers within the Eccles School: the Lassonde Entrepreneurship Institute, the Goff Strategic Leadership Center, the Sorenson Center for Discovery and Innovation, and the Sorenson Impact Center. The Department has also recently launched a novel Master of Business Creation.

The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City which is consistently ranked among the top regions of the country for economic growth.
