What we do
The Entrepreneurship and Analysis program allows students to drive their creativity/leadership/innovation on a path of success. We build businesses of our choice to get a taste of what it is to be an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurship / Business Management & Analysis
Entrepreneurship is psychology. It's leadership. It's also creative problem-solving. Teamwork. Persuasive public speaking. Understanding of law, finance, and economics. It's helping people solve problems, to help them live a better life. Entrepreneurship is hard work, but it takes hard-working people to achieve great things in this world.
