Entrepreneurship Minor
What Will I Learn?
The entrepreneurship minor provides you with the basic knowledge to start your own business. Many students in business and non-business disciplines want to eventually start their own business in their field after a few years of experience. For example:
- An environmental science major might want to start an environmental testing lab
- An art student might want to open an art gallery or museum
- A fitness and wellness leadership student might want to own a fitness center
- An expeditionary studies major might want to have their own tour company
- A communication major might want to start their own public relations firm
- A marketing major might start an advertising agency or marketing research firm
Combining your major with a minor in entrepreneurship will add to your credentials when developing a business plan and seeking financing for your startup.
