A student majoring in Business Administration can expect to begin his or her career by seeking an entry-level position with some organization. Typically, such positions are quite competitive and only aggressive, well-prepared students are successful in obtaining employment. Entry level positions are often coordinated with training programs. These are valuable sources of "on-the-job" education. The student with talent and drive will move progressively upward through a series of line and/or staff positions toward his or her ultimate level of achievement. The major in entrepreneurship requires 70 hours of professional and elective courses and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The entrepreneurship program is designed to provide maximum flexibility in the integration of coursework and actual experience to develop entrepreneurial potential and to provide the opportunity to turn that capability into reality. Coursework and practical experiences allow the student to apply principles of innovative thought, idea generation, market development, financial analysis, legal and ethical compliance, and human resource development. Students are prepared to start and develop a new venture, to immediately contribute to the growth and expansion of the fast-growth firm, to be leaders in social or non-profit activities, and to be corporate “intrapreneurs” if employed in larger firms. Students must take the following required courses for the major: ACCT 200, 201, CIS 141, ECON 202, 203, 206, CIS 243, FIN 330, MKT 220, MGT 200, 210, 313, 314, ENT 496, MGT 305 or MATH 119, ENT 312, FIN 441, MKT 427, ENT 380. Students must also select six hours of entrepreneurship electives from any 300- or 400-level entrepreneurship course. In addition, two additional courses must be selected and approved by the Management Department Chair that customizes the entrepreneurial interest area of the student. These two courses may come from the following list; however, the courses could also be from any discipline on campus that strengthens that student’s specific interest in entrepreneurship: ECON 414, MKT 323, 325, 328, 329, MGT 311, 333. Students also must complete one hour of MGT 499.
