Entrepreneurship/Family Business

Given that 90 percent of all firms are considered small or medium enterprises and that small businesses produce the majority of new jobs, the entrepreneurship minor at UC's Carl H. Lindner College of Business (Lindner) provides excellent preparation for the world of business. Emphasis is placed on practical issues and interactions related to individual, social and corporate entrepreneurship. Students who add the entrepreneurship minor to another degree program may be interested in starting their own ventures. Many with this background 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. Coupling the entrepreneurship minor with another major enhances the student's entrepreneurial or organizational career options. For instance, adding this minor to an information systems major could lead to work as an independent consultant or work for a larger firm servicing small, entrepreneurial and family owned ventures. Combining this minor with an accounting major 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.
