Our position in this article is that "intellectual entrepreneurship" provides an intellectually authentic philosophical foundation that can sustain cross-campus and interdisciplinary entrepreneurship education. Drawing upon initiatives begun at The University of Texas at Austin, we document how intellectual entrepreneurship educates "citizen-scholars" by leveraging the knowledge assets contained within university. We demonstrate how to empower faculty and students to become change agents--both on campus and within communities. Anchored to the rich humanistic traditions of the university, intellectual entrepreneurship harnesses the core philosophy of Western education to transform the master-apprentice-entitlement paradigm into one of discovery, ownership, accountability, collaboration, and action.
