Entrepreneurship Minor
About This Degree
This Program is Not Currently Accepting Applications
This minor is designed to provide a multidisciplinary foundation in entrepreneurship. Students will gain an understanding of the challenges and opportunities for entrepreneurs in the key functional areas such as communications, marketing, finance, and operations. Through application and professional networking, students will develop the tools to launch a new venture.
Entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, is one strategy for promoting economic growth in Jersey City and beyond. Every year, U.S. entrepreneurs start in excess of three million businesses, and the level of interest in pursuing entrepreneurship as a career remains high among people in all age groups. Entrepreneurship education provides a pathway to economic vitality. A properly developed entrepreneurial idea creates jobs (not just for the entrepreneur, but for those she or he employs as well) and creates sustainable wealth for our communities.
Designed for both business and non-business majors, this interactive minor teaches students step-by-step how to creatively solve real-world problems, apply a business model to their solutions, and then assess the feasibility of their start up idea. In this minor, students will learn how to effectively market, manage, and finance a new venture, preparing them to be productive, self-sustaining members of our community, while aiding in the economic development of the region and nation.
