Innovation and Entrepreneurship Minor

Overview

Undergraduate Program
This exciting minor is open to all undergraduate students in any major. We welcome anyone interested in wanting the chance to explore and participate in the process of starting something new. All courses are designed to provide students with an opportunity to merge their passion with an ability to identify opportunities for themselves as they plan their careers and life after Clark.

The mission of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program is to provide learning experiences for students that build the knowledge, skills and abilities of an entrepreneurial mindset to launch a business or innovate within an organization. Our philosophy is to utilize research-based, action learning practices to foster empathy, creation, experimentation, play and reflection as a way to develop an entrepreneurial mindset in students. 

The required courses and all of the program electives dramatically broaden awareness of opportunities after graduation, allowing students to be better prepared to take responsibility for their own professional and economic destiny.
