BUSINESS EDUCATION MAJOR
ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOCUS
This major will appeal to students with an entrepreneurial sprit. The focus of this major is to foster the
skills of critical thinking and creativity as they relate to real-life business situations. There is an emphasis
on learning outside the classroom where students will be expected to contact and meet with business
people.
Entrepreneurial opportunities and ideas are influenced by technology, the global marketplace,
demographics, consumer behaviour and appropriate timing. Students will develop strategies required to
identify the conditions that give rise to the opportunity to start a business venture. Creating the venture is
the beginning. Further development of the entrepreneurial process will take place in courses that deal
with planning, implementing and analysis of an entrepreneurial venture. Students will be encouraged to
incorporate the entrepreneurship philosophy into their daily lives with the development of self-esteem and
personal skills.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Students interested in the Entrepreneurship major should have a strong desire to start their own business
venture and to further their understanding of the business world.
GRADUATES:
Graduates of this program will have the expertise to develop an idea and launch a business venture.
