Overview

Undergraduate Program

This exciting new minor is open to all students in any major. The minor consists of six courses designed to provide students an opportunity to merge their passion with an ability to make that passion economically sustainable as they plan their careers. The mission of this program is to provide a set of rigorous entrepreneurial experiences for undergraduate liberal arts and science students, shaping graduates who are economically literate, and have explored and participated in the process of starting something new. The required courses dramatically broaden awareness of the opportunities after graduation, allowing students to be better prepared to take responsibility for their own professional and economic destiny.

Courses

Program Minor

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship minor requires 6 courses. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 in the minor courses to complete the minor. It is recommended that students declare the minor by the end of their sophomore year. It should be noted that the capstone course ENT 265 is required of all minors. A secondary capstone, ENT 266 is offered for those whose projects are deemed launchable by the program director. Although this course is not required, students are strongly encouraged to take it and should plan their schedules accordingly.

Required Courses:

Elective (preapproved by program director)

The elective should substantially support a student’s capstone project. The elective may not count toward a student’s major or any other minor or concentration. ENT 245 , ENT 255 , 258 or ENT 266 may count as the minor elective. Students may also choose an elective from other Clark academic departments with approval from the program director.
