Entrepreneurs have crucial functions in the economy: they create
employment for themselves and others, they enhance productive
abilities, and they bring innovate ideas and products to the
marketplace. Entrepreneurship is a creative, collaborative, exciting,
and rewarding path that seeks to maximize the value in every
opportunity. And entrepreneurs are often more satisfied than
employees with their jobs.
The Entrepreneurial Studies Track offers students hands-on experience and theoretical grounding in new venture creation, entrepreneurial finance, business planning, professional selling, and managing small businesses. These studies build upon and lead students beyond the core management competencies.
Students work directly with community partners on real-life projects.
Through activities of the Small Business Institute (SBI), (link to SBI
page) Entrepreneurial Studies students apply research and
classroom-based learning to critical challenges facing small
businesses in our community, creating an atmosphere of success
through a combination of excellent academics and community engagement.
Dr. Raj Mahto is the faculty advisor for the Entrepreneurial Studies Concentration.
