The Entrepreneurship concentration in the Business Administration major is cross-disciplinary, focusing on the challenges of establishing and managing new and growing ventures. The experiential approach of this concentration provides students opportunities to learn about:
- Opportunity identification, discovery and development
- Moving from a growth mindset to an entrepreneurial mindset, creating physical and virtual prototypes as part of lean startup and "effectuation" models
- Methodologies to "de-risk" opportunities using problem solving skills
- Understanding the firm lifecycle and changing resource needs as companies grow
- Iterating or pivoting towards a sustainable business model, and the role of sustainability in responsible entrepreneurship
- Communicating a business concept through a formal pitch
Entrepreneurship means having the readiness to develop, organize, and run a business enterprise and tackle any of its uncertainties to make a profit. This concentration is well suited for students who want to start a business, or who dream of working at a big company and want to stand out as an entrepreneurial employee.
