Entrepreneurship Minor

Entrepreneurship is the process of developing concepts into finished, actionable plans which ultimately allow us to offer marketable products or services to a defined consumer base. In order to move a concept from just a thought to a finished plan, an entrepreneur needs to carefully develop virtually all aspects of a sound business model. It is not sufficient to have an idea, gather some money, hang a sign, and consider oneself “in business”. Today’s business environment demands careful planning at each step along the way. Students will learn how to create for-profit as well as nonprofit organizations that can help boost prosperity while also developing a corporate social responsibility mindset that fosters economic justice, social equity, and environmental sustainability.
