Why a Master’s Degree in Entrepreneurship?

People who dream of launching their own business or sharpening their
entrepreneurial ideas often have big ideas. But they need to know how to
bring those ideas to market and to land the capital to finance the venture.
The MS in Entrepreneurship and Applied Technologies is a graduate program
that includes coursework on new product and service creation, strategy,
financing, opportunity identification, technology translation, and more – all
with an emphasis on sustainability and social responsibility. For those who
are already engaged in new product or service creation, the program provides
the training skills, and knowledge effective leaders and innovators need.
The program isn’t just for those who want to start a new business, however.
For those who want to advance their career in an established business, the
program fosters the kind of thinking that intrapreneurs — people who think
like entrepreneurs but work for traditional businesses — need to thrive.
Students leave with an innovator’s mindset and know how to effectively
communicate their ideas.



This program has engaged
and empowered me to seek out
opportunities and given me the
keys to success in my endeavors.
With its integrative approach to
entrepreneurship and my focus in
technology, medicine and business,
I will have the know-how to become
a successful businessman.



- Jerry Trotter, Medical Student

About the Program
This 30 credit-hour interdisciplinary program includes 15 credit hours
of required core curricula to help students recognize and evaluate
opportunities. Those courses include training in new venture creation,
venture financing, technology and market assessment, technology
commercialization, and interdisciplinary team leadership. Students take
15 credit hours in elective courses. Electives vary based on the student’s
career goals and range from courses in global entrepreneurship to
biotechnology to intellectual property.
The MS in Entrepreneurship and Applied Technologies may, with prior
approval, be taken in conjunction with the MBA or other MS programs,
allowing students to earn two degrees. Students frequently opt to pursue
MS degrees in other colleges, particularly in areas such as engineering,
biotechnology, and medicine, while earning the MBA and MS in
Entrepreneurship and Applied Technologies.

A nationwide survey funded by the Kauffman Foundation reveals
that Millennials are enthusiastic about entrepreneurship: 54 percent
of them either want to start a business or have already started
one. And, according to rankings by Entrepreneur magazine and the
Princeton Review, USF is the best place in the Southeast to study
entrepreneurship.



Entrepreneurship is a key driver of our economy.
Particularly because the majority of jobs that are created
in the United States come from small businesses started by
entrepreneurially minded individuals. Our program teaches
students to be flexible, resilient, creative, empathetic, and
have the ability to recognize and seize opportunities.
