Entrepreneurship has been, and will continue to be, one of the key engines of global economic growth. Because
entrepreneurship is not a one-size-fits-all proposition that happens along a pre-determined timeline, the entrepreneurship
concentration focuses on developing your mindset and your toolkit, whether you will launch your own startup, join others
in their new venture, work intrapreneurially within a larger organization, or even a combination of these over time.
Our core course in entrepreneurship, combined with five required specialization courses and related electives, will
develop your skills in the following areas: idea generation, opportunity assessment, concept development, resource
determination and acquisition, funding opportunities, managing growth, and harvesting the business. This concentration
will put you in the shoes of an entrepreneur, deepening your critical thinking and experiential learning while you learn to
make decisions in real time with limited information.
Required Courses
You will complete one course in entrepreneurship as a part of your core MBA curriculum. To fulfill the requirements of the
concentration, you must complete a minimum of fifteen additional credit hours of coursework.
