The Entrepreneurship minor is designed to provide students with meaningful skills, attitudes, and behaviors necessary for starting new businesses, working in family businesses, or joining small entrepreneurial businesses. Traditional businesses also highly value employees with this minor, since our graduates from this program are action-oriented and have “learned by doing,” Although only a minority of our students will start businesses immediately upon graduation, the goal is to develop a true “Entrepreneurial Mindset” in all of our students. This mindset includes constantly embracing opportunities, providing value to others, and striving to reap regards from efforts made.
The Entrepreneurship minor is 15 credit hours. It provides business students of any major with a practical understanding of entrepreneurial skills, attitudes, and behaviors needed for success. Students have the opportunity to submit business plans developed as part of the minor to external business plan competitions.
The Entrepreneurship minor, is open to business and non-business students. Students begin classes in their junior year and move through the program as a cohort. First-year students and sophomores are encouraged to contact the program director for more information about the minor. Courses for Entrepreneurship minor are listed under the prefix, ENTR.
