Minor - Entrepreneurship

College of Business Administration

Entrepreneurship is more than a set of tools and techniques for starting and growing a business. It’s a mind-set, a creative way of looking at opportunities. It’s about passion - doing what you love. It’s about creating wealth in all its forms: money, independence, power, and innovation. It’s about challenge and persistence. And, it’s about writing new execution strategies for the way your business operates.

This program exposes and prepares students for the various facets of entrepreneurship including starting a business, acquiring a business, corporate entrepreneurship, family business, or working for a small business. Students will be exposed to speakers who are successful entrepreneurs also.
