About This Program
The Entrepreneurship minor is an interdisciplinary business minor that augments any degree program. You’ll learn about product/idea generation, resource acquisition, and aspects of entrepreneurial and new venture management. The minor provides knowledge and skills to develop new products, services, and organizations providing social and economic value.
