Entrepreneurship

Description

The Entrepreneurship Major offered by the Department of International Business Administration is a generalist business degree geared towards students who want to start their own business, work in a small business, work in a family business, or want to understand the management of innovation in any organization.

A BA in Entrepreneurship will teach students the basics of small business management and the activities required for the planning and creation of new enterprises within a single country as well as internationally. Students majoring in entrepreneurship will be well-grounded in the ways of financing a new business, and will have a thorough understanding of the manager’s task of organizing innovation.

Departmental Honors

Students majoring in either International Business Administration, Entrepreneurship or International Finance may, on the basis of their superior academic performance, be invited during their junior or senior years to participate in the IBA Departmental Honors Program. This program affords outstanding students the opportunity to deepen and broaden their understanding of the business world and to accelerate their search for academic and professional excellence. Beyond academic results, students will be required to write and present a thesis in their senior year. Additional information is available from the IBA Department chair and the IBA Honors Program faculty supervisor.
