Our Entrepreneurship Track in the Management Major enables students to learn about the multifaceted challenges facing entrepreneurs and small business owners. The track requires 24 semester hours of course work. The track's emphasis on experiential activities and multidisciplinary knowledge makes it an attractive alternative for enterprising students interested in starting or managing a small business, working in a small business, or taking a leadership role in innovation or project-oriented corporate environments.
We believe that all business students can benefit by supplementing their discipline-based majors with a broader understanding of successful business ventures. Consequently, we offer a minor that provides business students the opportunity to learn fundamental concepts and skills associated with new venture and small business success. Students will benefit from classes that teach the intricacies of starting, managing and financing a new business venture. This minor is offered by the Management Department and is open to all business undergraduates.
We strongly encourage students across campus to consider registering for our new course titled "How to start a business". This course provides practical, proven tactics for launching and managing a small business. It is well suited for non-business majors whose careers often lead to contract work, opening a small company, working with partners in a small firm or contributing to projects in corporate environments (e.g., engineering, digital media, music, journalism, etc.). Interested students should also consider joining the CEO Knights student organization and participating in our various competitions and events.
Our faculty has approved an Entrepreneurship minor for non-business majors that will be available Summer 2008. This minor would provide students throughout the UCF community with an opportunity to learn more about business and entrepreneurship. This will be available as an 18-credit minor offered by the College of Business that will be open to all UCF undergraduates.
A new interdisciplinary minor has been approved and will be available Summer 2008. This minor will offer students an opportunity to blend deep discipline-specific expertise with broad entrepreneurial thinking skills. It will prepare students in any engineering, science, technology or business discipline to create, enhance, or manage a technology venture.
