The Center for Entrepreneurship provides students the opportunity to develop and enhance entrepreneurial skills regardless of their college major. A minor in entrepreneurship will complement any academic major teaching essential business creation skills such as developing and implementing a business plan and seeking start-up capital. The minor is a six course series that prepare students to create their own business.
