As part of the undergraduate program at the Grossman School of Business, entrepreneurship theme students will learn to shape their careers by building on who they are, what they know, and whom they know to access financial, human, and social resources from their environment.
Courses in this theme aim to help students develop skills applicable to numerous challenges and opportunities including, managing proficiently in rapidly growing global markets, comfort with ambiguity and personal risk-taking. Experiential exercises are used to develop skills in networking, team building, business feasibility assessment and business plan development for new and existing enterprises. Additional experiential opportunities include participation in Case Competitions and Pitch Competitions. The skills and competencies gained through the Entrepreneurship theme are vital for the success of any business or organization start-up, corporations, family business, non-profit, franchise, or other settings.
Possible Career Paths Following an Entrepreneurship Theme
Many of the students who choose the Entrepreneurship theme plan to, or already have, started their own businesses. Other graduates are in high demand as employees for companies stressing innovation and change. Some students studying the Entrepreneurship theme may choose to work for a family or closely held business, purchase a franchise, work as a business consultant, or enter the financial services industry.
