Business Enterpreneurship(BBA)
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) with a concentration in Entrepreneurship provides students with a solid business background. Specific classes on various aspects of entrepreneurship allow students to fully develop their entrepreneurial spirit. The project and capstone course for the degree in entrepreneurship is to complete a business plan. Students develop an idea from thought to completion and after graduating are prepared to move forward with their idea to form a business.
The degree in entrepreneurship works closely with the Maverick Innovation Center for students to build their own products and businesses individually or with students from other disciplines. Students have more opportunities to put their entrepreneurial skills into action via The Point, a student-managed, on-campus business. Students also have the opportunity to join the Entrepreneurship Club (E-Club).

Career Opportunities
The US is trending toward a 'gig economy' in which people are independent contractors often with multiple 'gigs' rather than working for one company for years. Students who understand entrepreneurship will be positioned to thrive in such an economy. Even if a person does not choose to start their own business, understanding the operations of a small business is critical since the vast majority of U.S. businesses are classified as small.
