Entrepreneurship

Prepare for your career while building the business of your dreams

Students build their future in the most unique way imaginable: by creating, designing, improving and presenting their own business concepts. Using the power of creativity, innovative tools and resources, students learn how to unleash their human potential and embrace the entrepreneurial spirit.

The curriculum, developed in collaboration with INCubatoredu, takes students through a new way of learning. Students experience the entrepreneurial process firsthand, developing skills such as critical thinking, creative problem solving, teamwork and public speaking.

Entrepreneurship majors not only intelligently and astutely prepare to launch and grow their own business, but also equip themselves with highly transferable skills important to any organizational context.
