Entrepreneurship

Add value to your degree and control your destiny.

Entrepreneurship minor

Students will gain valuable knowledge and experience in entrepreneurship and build connections with the entrepreneurial community.

Using formal coursework to foster business acumen, students will be asked to create and/or run businesses or non-profit organizations, network with entrepreneurs, and cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset. The minor strongly emphasizes written and oral communication skills, teamwork, and personal initiative.

This minor is not available to students who are accounting, business management, or global management majors. See instead “Entrepreneurial Management.”
