Turn ideas into innovative ventures

What is Entrepreneurship?

Entrepreneurship is the study and practice of identifying problems, designing solutions, and creating value in the world. It teaches you how to think creatively, manage uncertainty, work with teams, and turn new ideas into sustainable projects, ventures, or community initiatives. Students learn core concepts like opportunity recognition, market research, budgeting, storytelling, and strategic planning while building the confidence to try things, test ideas, and learn from the process.

Why study Entrepreneurship?

Entrepreneurial thinking is valuable in every career path. Whether you want to start a business, launch a nonprofit, innovate inside an existing organization, or bring creative solutions to social and community challenges, this minor gives you the practical tools to do it. You will learn how to develop a project from concept to execution, communicate your vision, understand markets and audiences, and collaborate with people who bring different skills and perspectives.
