Entrepreneurship
The programs in Business Administration offer the opportunity to acquire
an excellent understanding of the processes, organizations, and decision-making
inherent in today's business environment. Students begin by building a
foundation of basic knowledge and skills with courses in economics, statistics,
mathematics and communication. They then take a series of core courses
that span the functional areas of business. These areas include accounting,
entrepreneurship, finance, legal studies in business, management, and
marketing. These courses form a foundation upon which students can build
a greater knowledge in several different concentrations.
The
concentration in entrepreneurship is designed for students who are considering
owning their own business at some point in their career, are interested
in working in a small or family-owned business, or are interested in working
in corporate ventures.
Students
completing a concentration in entrepreneurship will have the skills necessary
to start a business venture within five years of graduation. They will
have the skills necessary to play a meaningful role in the management
of a small or family-owned business or corporate venture, and in their
communities
