Undergraduate Minor - Entrepreneurship
The Entrepreneurship Minor enables students outside of the Carlson School of Management to combine Carlson School entrepreneurship courses and approved elective courses from their own college. Students have the flexibility to complement their major and career interests by selecting from a broad range of courses on innovation and entrepreneurship. The Entrepreneurship minor helps students on their journey to become entrepreneurs interested in starting a new business or helping organizations to develop new business opportunities. The objective of the minor is to provide learning opportunities for the innovative leaders of tomorrow.
Admissions Requirements
Students are admitted on a rolling basis and are encouraged to apply for the minor as soon as they have completed Mgmt 3015, Introduction to Entrepreneurship with a C or better. A minimum 2.5 GPA is recommended. Along with a recommended minimum GPA of 2.5, students must complete the prerequisite with a C or better on an A - F grading basis to be eligible for the entrepreneurship minor. Students need to have this class completed prior to submitting an application.
Questions can be directed to the entrepreneurship minor advisor at [email protected].
