Organized by
The University of Delaware Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship (CEEE) in the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics was founded in 1971 to address the absence of economics in the K through 12 curriculum with the goal of ensuring all students graduating from Delaware high schools would be well grounded in economics with the knowledge and skills to be productive citizens.
In 1981, the CEEE established the Master of Arts in Economics and Entrepreneurship for Educators graduate program. The program serves to establish a network of teachers across the country and throughout the world to develop, implement and exchange meaningful economic, financial and entrepreneurial education programs. Those teachers have gone on to train other teachers in their states and regions, thereby leveraging the impact of the MAEEE program.
