Entrepreneurship and Innovation Concentration

The concentration in entrepreneurship and innovation (ENIN) provides students with a broad spectrum of skills that enable them to start, manage, and grow new and/or existing businesses. Graduates are equipped to work in major organizations that develop new products, procedures, and services. The program provides students with opportunities to explore new organizational types, both for-profit and nonprofit, and to develop the skills needed to become effective consultants. The ENIN concentration emphasizes practical learning and encourages students to excel in the classroom while participating in field-related activities. Through exposure to scenarios designed to sharpen their ability to use fast-paced decision making, ENIN students are challenged to operate with success in turbulent environments.

This Bulletin covers the degree requirements for students matriculating in the current academic year. Students who matriculated before the current year can find their requirements in the relevant archived Bulletin.
