Entrepreneurship

The entrepreneurship major prepares you to be an innovative leader in startups or established businesses.

Preparing You For Success

Entrepreneurship courses give you practical tools to guide your creativity and innovation in organizational settings. You learn how to start your own venture and help organizations develop products, create markets, and solve problems.

You complete the degree with a capstone project for a local business.

By the time you graduate, your experiences may include:

  • Develop an entrepreneurial mindset that will help you discover, evaluate, and pursue opportunities.
  • Develop your professional network with local entrepreneurs, students across majors, faculty, and investors.
  • Pitch new business ideas to successful entrepreneurs, investors and corporate executives
