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 bachelor's degrees 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=esteem.nd.edu|publisher=University of Notre Dame|accessdateaccess-date=15 October 2014}}</ref>
