Major & Requirements

Designed to meet the needs of budding entrepreneurs in all areas of business, the Entrepreneurship & Innovation major is made up of one required course and three electives.

The required course is Entrepreneurship & New Venture Formation (ENTR-462), which focuses on business plan development. The three electives can be selected from a list of courses that qualify for the major.

This multidisciplinary approach incorporates classroom studies, experiential learning and external learning opportunities through the Kauffman Entrepreneur Intern Program. Students learn from the experiences of their professors, special guest speakers and fellow classmates to prepare them to engage in successful entrepreneurial activity.

Upon graduation, a student’s “toolkit” will be filled with knowledge about the business plan process, raising debt and equity capital from institutions and individuals, managing the growth of the company, growing through acquisitions, taking the company public or selling the company, and cash flow management and maximization.
