The Entrepreneurship Major is designed to help prepare students for effective new venture creation and management. Students majoring in Entrepreneurship will purse in-depth study of the needs of new and emerging ventures and existing businesses, using an entrepreneurial focus.
Additionally, Entrepreneurship majors are challenged to pursue development of their own business ideas and opportunities. While it is not expected that all students in the Entrepreneurship major will establish new ventures immediately upon graduation, there is reason to believe that eventually, many Entrepreneurship graduates will start their own businesses.
Students may be admitted to the College of Business & Public Administration and may elect a major in Entrepreneurship after completing at least 60 semester hours at UND or other accredited institutions. A minimum grade point average of 2.5 (2.0 is C) in all courses attempted and a "C" or better in the six courses comprising a sophomore-level pre-business core are required.
Students planning to transfer to UND from a junior college should enroll in only those junior college business courses offered as freshman or sophomore level courses at UND. Professional courses taken as a freshman or sophomore at another college may be used to satisfy courses taught in the junior or senior years at UND if the student passes a validating examination at UND.
High School Students with an interest in preparing for the Entrepreneurship curriculum should be sure to complete the core curriculum as outlined by the North Dakota University System. The UND Catalog describes the core curriculum requirements. Students will find math and computer applications courses particularly helpful. In addition, high school business courses provide students an opportunity to assess their level of interest in business-related topics. |
