A firm grasp of the entrepreneurial process benefits every person engaged in developing innovations, from startups to established companies and organizations. The goal of the Minor in Technology Entrepreneurship and Corporate Innovation is to infuse students with that knowledge and its accompanying skills. Armed with an entrepreneurial mindset and skill set, innovators can better drive economic growth by launching successful ventures and bringing new products and services to market. Students earn the minor by completing coursework that may include entrepreneurial opportunity analysis, strategies for managing innovation, marketing high-technology products, financing and leading new ventures, and international entrepreneurship.
