Entrepreneurship (ENT)

(5 courses)

The Simon School is committed to the teaching of entrepreneurship. The Entrepreneurship concentration allows the student to draw from a variety of carefully selected courses to become a business generalist, well versed in organizing and managing resources. Graduates with this concentration have started their own ventures or have pursued “intrapreneurial” careers with major corporations. Students often combine this concentration with finance or marketing to further enhance their educational base. This is especially true for those pursuing investment banking/M&A where the entrepreneurship knowledge can be very useful.
