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.
