Description:
In combination with the Information Technology core, the Entrepreneurship concentration leads to a multidisciplinary degree with a special emphasis on technological entrepreneurship in the information technology field.
This concentration focuses on the process of discovering, creating and turning information technology-based opportunities into new products in existing organizations and new ventures.
The Entrepreneurship concentration curriculum is designed to provide a solid foundation of skills, knowledge and practical field experience at the intersection of information technology and entrepreneurship. It emphasizes recognizing new product and/or new venture opportunities; creating business plans to bring them into existence, and managing the launch, growth and harvest of information technology-based opportunities.
Students interested in the following career possibilities should pursue an Entrepreneurship concentration: new product development and/or corporate venturing in larger, entrepreneurial businesses; multidisciplinary opportunities in newer, high potential ventures; and direct participation in the creation of a new, information technology-based venture.
