College’s Entrepreneurship Curriculum Provides a Solid Business Foundation

Both options provide students a foundational understanding of the principles of business and entrepreneurial activity needed for this dynamic career path, said Art Padilla, professor and head of the college’s Department of Management, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MIE).

Courses cover topics such as new venture planning, managing the growth venture, legal dynamics of entrepreneurship, and business opportunity analysis. Students also select from a social entrepreneurship practicum or an entrepreneurship practicum. In either course, they work in teams with real ventures that are either in start up or growth phases, serving in a consulting role, helping to solve real world problems.

The entrepreneurship focus in the College of Management’s business administration minor provides non-business majors an understanding of the language and basic concepts of business, plus an appreciation of the managerial principles needed in the unique environments faced by those starting a business.

Students interested in learning more about the college’s entrepreneurship curriculum are encouraged to contact the advising staff in the College of Management’s Office of Undergraduate Programs.
