Entrepreneurship , B.B.A.

For help with the admissions process, contact your admissions counselor.

Entrepreneurship is more than just starting your own business. It’s a mindset—a way of thinking and acting. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute (ENI) develops business leaders who possess the knowledge, skills, and confidence to develop, scale, and deliver products, services, and solutions to real-world problems. These skills and mindsets can be applied to a range of organizational contexts: as a sole entrepreneurial startup, as key members of a founding team, or as an entrepreneurial member of a larger organization.

The major in entrepreneurship equips students with an entrepreneurial mindset of problem solving, critical thinking, and team-working skills. The program provides a foundation to address customers’ problems with effective solutions. In today’s fast-paced, dynamic economy, employers value an entrepreneurial mindset in new hires across a wide range of jobs and industries. Furthermore, students with entrepreneurial skills are better prepared to successfully establish and grow their own business.BBA
