Selecting a concentration in entrepreneurship provides students with a mindset and professional training to identify new business opportunities and the ability to implement them—either within existing companies or as startups.
In addition to the focused academic coursework, the Lundquist College of Business offers hands-on learning programs and activities through the Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship (LCE). The Lundquist Center facilitates interactions with successful business executives, entrepreneurs, and startup companies in the local business community and beyond.

Concentration Requirements
- MGMT 335: Launching New Ventures
- ACTG 340: Accounting for Entrepreneurs
- MKTG 445: Entrepreneurial Marketing
- MGMT 455: Implementing Entrepreneurship Strategies
Recommended Course Sequence
Students are strongly advised to begin the entrepreneurship sequence as early in their junior year as possible. MGMT 335 is the gateway course for the concentration and must be taken first. ACTG 340, MKTG 445, and MGMT 335 must be taken prior to MGMT 455, which is the capstone course for the concentration. Students must plan accordingly with respect to completing all prerequisites and schedule completion of MGMT 455 course before graduation.
MGMT 410 “Lean Launchpad” and MGMT 410 “Technology and Innovation Management are additional electives recommended for students with an entrepreneurship concentration. These courses may count toward the concentration in the future, but have not yet been fully approved.
Students can complete entrepreneurship as a second concentration by adding just one additional class to their upper-division electives. Talk to an advisor to learn more.
