The McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise at Houston Baptist University focuses on developing entrepreneurial leadership and a commitment to free enterprise among students. Based in Houston, Texas, the center emphasizes principles such as individual responsibility and limited government as part of its educational approach. Established in August 2016 on the university campus, it operates with a small staff and provides tools through academics, case studies, mentorships, competitions, and real-world experiences to help students launch new ventures. Its primary audience is Houston Baptist University students pursuing entrepreneurship-focused education, with programs designed to turn ideas into viable businesses. The center was created with support from Robert and Janice McNair, and a notable campus development in 2024 includes the February launch of a Master of Science in Leadership program.
