The Crocker Innovation Fellows Program is a transformative, year-length innovation experience for BYU students from any major. Class members, termed Crocker Fellows, learn from six leading faculty from across the campus in applying practices of innovation and entrepreneurship. Crocker Fellows are placed on teams of 6 members.
“Crocker can be hard because unlike a lot of your other classes, your professors don't know the right answers for your project. You have to come up with these answers with their support. This is a hard thing to adjust to if you are used to teachers having all the answers but is more accurate to what your future jobs will be like. There are no answer keys there!”
— 2024 Crocker Fellow
The program is taught by faculty from the Colleges of Business, Engineering, Life Sciences, and Physical & Mathematical Sciences. Their combined expertise ensures that students gain both technological knowledge and entrepreneurial insight.
"The Crocker faculty offer guidelines and suggestions for your project and work in the fellowship. But don't be afraid to branch out and make bold choices that might be off that beaten path. You're here to learn and take risks. There's not better place to take those risks than with the support of the Crocker Innovation Fellowship."
