Startup Your Entrepreneurial Skills

The Entrepreneurship Minor delves into the mindset and behavior of successful entrepreneurs and the principles and concepts associated with entrepreneurship in startup, social, creative, and corporate ventures.

This interdisciplinary minor complements majors in all of Miami’s academic divisions and promotes the applications of entrepreneurial concepts in support of each student’s passion, regardless of major.

You will complete the minor by taking courses as a core curriculum followed by one of four specific tracks: startup, social, corporate, and creativity. It provides a framework for understanding entrepreneurship from a variety of disciplines and application of entrepreneurial skill sets to meet societal and workplace demands. (19 semester hours)

A minimum 2.0 GPA is required for all courses in this minor. Courses must be taken for a grade (not credit/no-credit). For non-business majors, this minor satisfies the Thematic Sequence requirement of the Global Miami Plan. Students planning to take this minor are encouraged to take ESP 101 and one of the 200 level courses (ESP 201, 251, 252) before applying to join the minor. Admission to most Farmer School of Business minors is limited and the respective departments are responsible for managing their enrollments.

Some minors are available to students on a first-come, first-served basis while others have entry restrictions or requirements.
