Students learn how to evaluate ideas, assess market potential, and design sustainable ventures. The program strengthens entrepreneurial thinking, resilience, and strategic execution.

The minor prepares students to think like entrepreneurs and enhances career skills and opportunities regardless of major.
Admission Requirements
Must be enrolled in a full time program.
Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
