Program overview:
The Interdisciplinary Entrepreneurship and Innovation Minor is designed to educate students to serve as leaders in the innovation economy with knowledge, skills, and confidence to develop, scale, and deliver breakthrough solutions to real-world problems. Students will be prepared to do so within a range of organizational contexts: an entrepreneurial start-up of their own, as key members of a founding team, or as an entrepreneurial member of a large organization. The Interdisciplinary Entrepreneurship and Innovation Minor requires eighteen hours of course work including a black entrepreneurial mindset course, innovation and design thinking course, digital Marketing course, entrepreneurship finance course, seminar in entrepreneurship, and one elective. The distribution of requirements is intended to provide students with a broad interdisciplinary learning experience. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the first course (HBA 253 ) by the end of their sophomore year and to complete an internship with an entrepreneur.
Departmental policies and/or General Education modifications:
- A grade of C or higher is required for all courses in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor.
