Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Program Description
Entrepreneurship is the undertaking of the organization, operations and implicated risks of creating a new business venture with the goal of reaping high profits.
Entrepreneurs are highly motivated individuals that are willing and determined to embark on this venture, making their business successful because they are driven by a vision.
With our current development of an incubator and commercialization center, we will provide students with hands on application of skills to help them achieve their entrepreneurial potential.
Projected Demand
An entrepreneur is self-employed, they oversee the operations of the business by being managers, accountants, and marketers; they do anything it takes in order to make their business thrive in today's competitive environment.
There are no designated salaries for entrepreneurs. These will vary with the option that the entrepreneur chooses, the industry that they will enter, and more importantly that efforts and time they put into making their business successful.
