Entrepreneurship Concentration
Entrepreneurs are people who would like to start and grow their own business. Their satisfaction comes from creating, advancing, and ultimately transforming an idea into a thriving business. Success demands knowledge of, and experience in, a number of factors, including initiating the start-up process, maintaining a competitive edge, gaining market share, making financial decisions, adapting to change, and developing products and services. In the United States, approximately 600,000 - 800,000 new businesses are started each year. These businesses form the basis of our economy. They allow their owners to work for themselves and to be self-sufficient. Many entrepreneurs build on their success by taking personal and financial risks to introduce new types of businesses based on current and projected needs.
The purpose of the Entrepreneurship concentration is to provide students with the general knowledge to launch, operate, and grow their own business or operate and grow an existing business. This option focuses on innovative, hands-on business practice and small business management. Foundation and advanced courses expose students to the principles of business development, including strategic planning, marketing, advertising, business law, accounting, and information systems.
