Starting this fall, students can develop their entrepreneurial potential by pursuing an entrepreneurship minor. Anyone interested in starting or owning their own business, whether it is now, after graduation or at some point in their career, can get a taste for what it takes to be an entrepreneur with this program. The spirit of innovation, creativity and idea development can be applied in many contexts such as starting a business, taking over a family business, and pursuing social/non-profit initiatives.
The minor has been tailored to non-business majors and is open to all Towson students except those majoring in accounting, business administration, e-business or dual degrees in accounting, business administration and e-business. Students with a business major interested in entrepreneurship can select a concentration in entrepreneurship.
The required courses for this minor will begin being offered this fall with ENTR 110 Creativity and Idea Development. This course will focus on creativity and thinking creatively. Topics include developing creative abilities, opportunity recognition, creating a new product/service, and pitches. Students will explore ideas for a new product/service and learn how to evaluate the ideas as a potential focus to launch a new business.
