Entrepreneurship is a way of approaching problems and needs in innovative ways based on a deep and rich understanding of others. In an economy increasing built on small business and freelance work, you?ll cultivate the wisdom, skills, and confidence to succeed in organizations of any scale, whether you work as an owner, employee, or independent contractor.

Entrepreneurship is an important part of both global and domestic economies. More than 70% of new jobs in the U.S. are created by small businesses. 95% of U.S. businesses employ fewer than 50 people. 40% of the U.S. workforce is expected to do at least some freelance work by 2020. More than 25 million people are starting or running a new venture in the U.S. In those countries globally that participate in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (and which represent around 69% of the world?s population), 582 million people are early stage entrepreneurs.
