The ''''Engineering, Science & Technology Entrepreneurship Excellence Masters Program'''' also known as the ''''ESTEEM Program'''' is an [[entrepreneurship]] master's program and collaborative effort between the [[Mendoza College of Business]], College of Science, and College of Engineering at the [[University of Notre Dame]]. The 1-year program includes business courses covering finance, marketing, strategy, leadership, project management, quality, operations research, and ethics as well as science and/or engineering electives and a capstone thesis project.

The program primarily admits students who have received a bachelor's degreedegrees in science, engineering, or mathematics, or have equivalent experience in these fields. It claims to be unique in the sense that it puts students in the context of a real-time startup environment and requires students to outline a business plan, financial model, and marketing strategy for existing or ongoing research by Notre Dame students, professors, or industry partners.<ref>{{cite web|title=About the Master of Entrepreneurship Program|url=http://esteem.nd.edu/about-master-of-entrepreneurship-program/|website=http://esteem.nd.edu|publisher=University of Notre Dame|accessdateaccess-date=15 October 2014}}</ref>
