Entrepreneurship

The Entrepreneurship Minor is designed as a multidisciplinary opportunity for interested students to expand their knowledge and experience. Entrepreneurship, fundamentally, is about innovation. It is about recognizing opportunities and acting on them.

Entrepreneurs are agents of change. Being entrepreneurial requires the ability to think creatively, innovate, and lead the development of an idea to implementation

Goals:

The Entrepreneurship minor provides students with the skills and knowledge necessary to undertake the process of starting a new business venture. This minor is not just for students interested in creating a new business. Rather it is a broad exploration of how to be entrepreneurial, whether by starting a new business, or within an existing business or organization.

Outcomes:

Students who satisfy the requirements for the minor will demonstrate:

• an ability to evaluate a product or service to meet the desired needs of markets within realistic constraints such as financial, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability;
• an understanding of how to start an entrepreneurial business;
• an ability to convince others about the merits of a new idea;
• an ability to practice techniques to effectively manage and motivate people;
• the broad education necessary to understand the impact of product- and service-based solutions in a contemporary global, economic, environmental, and societal context;
