  • Program Overview
    The entrepreneurship major develops the skills needed to gain advantage in the industry sector projected to grow the fastest in the decades to come: small and startup businesses. Current data shows that successful entrepreneurs and established business leaders share a key trait – an integrated managerial perspective that has been called "intrepreneurship." These individuals are change agents with common characteristics like motivation, risk tolerance, persuasiveness, and creativity.

    The program is designed to give you a strong foundation in the strategic, analytical, and tactical skills necessary to launch your own business or to become an innovative contributor to an established company or family business.
