Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and acting. People who are successful in entrepreneurial ventures have vision that they pursue with drive, determination and dedication. They seek to create solutions to problems using reason and logic. 

Working with abstract concepts, they work to figure out the relationships of one to another. They possess excellent communication skills and are able to exercise good time- and project-management skills. Entrepreneurs dream of possibilities, see opportunity often where others do not, take on challenges and persevere to achieve their goals.

Emphasis is placed on practical issues and interactions related to individual, social and corporate entrepreneurship. While it is anticipated that entrepreneurship majors are interested in starting their own ventures, majors are also well prepared to work for businesses and organizations that interact with small, entrepreneurial and family ventures on a regular basis.

While the aspiring entrepreneur will find this program quite appealing, it will also prepare students to work for larger businesses and support organizations that interact with small, entrepreneurial and family owned ventures. In addition, coupling the entrepreneurship major with another major or minor enhances the student’s entrepreneurial or organizational career options.

For instance, a double major with information systems could lead to work as an independent consultant or work for a larger firm servicing small, entrepreneurial and family owned ventures; a double major with accounting could lead to opening an independent tax consulting business or a career with a larger accounting firm in its small and medium sized business division.
