What you’ll study
Your courses are designed to help you think outside the box and bring your ideas to life. You’ll learn about innovation, independent thinking and creative problem solving. You’ll practice turning ideas into business ventures, innovative products and services, and successful start-ups. You will have the opportunity to compete for cash prizes in our New Venture Fair.
Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Through the Steven Dorfman Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, you will have access to events, networking opportunities, educational venture and Hub101. This space is designed for entrepreneurs like you to collaborate, launch starts ups and receive expert advice from community members. Hub101 is also a valuable source of student internships.
The Entrepreneurship minor offers many hands-on experiences, limitless potential for networking and opportunities to collaborate with your peers. I am the Marketing Manager for PureSpectrum, a company that started out of Hub101, and constantly use the soft skills I acquired in my courses. The minor also gave me the knowledge to keep up with the fast pace of a startup environment, understand early priorities, and what to expect with equity, capital raises and expansion.
