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.Â
The Management Minor is for students in majors outside of the Carlson School of Management to gain a comprehensive exposure to the business world while developing knowledge in a focus area that complements their major and career goals. Through this minor, a student has the opportunity to build versatile business foundations by taking courses in Microeconomics, Statistics, Accounting, and Excel. These foundational courses prepare the students to be successful in any focus area they choose.

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.
