Entrepreneurship is the engine of local, national and global economies and the program is designed to give students the tools necessary to succeed in entrepreneurial roles. Students interested in entrepreneurship learn and practice all aspects of the entrepreneurial process from developing an idea to pitching a business plan.

Students also have the option to learn about and pursue social entrepreneurial ventures. Entrepreneurship courses integrate the classroom with the real world through a dynamic mix of leading-edge technology, involvement with successful entrepreneurs and hands-on development of key skills like creativity, market focus and business planning, which are essential to successful ventures.
