Interdisciplinary Entrepreneurship Minor
Our Program
The Fisher College of Business, in collaboration with the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and Human Ecology, offers undergraduate interdisciplinary minor in entrepreneurship.
The new minor is designed for capturing the economic value in creative ideas for commercially viable products and services. The educational program enhances a student's understanding of and appreciation for entrepreneurship, encourages exploration into personal career opportunites through entrepreneurial studies, and develops specific competencies in the creation, growth, and leadership of entrepreneurial enterprises.
The new minor requires the completion of five courses and at least 20 credit hours in courses developed around the entrepreneurship process model. There are two required courses, both of which are offered by the Fisher College of Business. Three additional courses of at least 11 additional credit hours are selected from an array of advanced electives offered by the participating colleges. If elective credits total 10 or fewer, students must take an additional class to meet the 20 credit requirement. Electives are offered in three broad content areas that comprise the entrepreneurship process: 1) creativity, innovation and idea generation; 2) market opportunity evaluation and new venture planning; and 3) leading and managing high performance ventures. The minor is open to all at the Ohio State University.
