Welcome!

The purpose of this undergraduate minor is to educate all undergraduate students at Iowa State University about entrepreneurship - the starting of new business ventures. As a minor, it serves to complement the student's major area of study, whether it be electrical engineering, horticulture, textiles and clothing, veterinary medicine, or any business discipline, by offering a means of putting theory and science into practice. The goal of Entrepreneurial Studies is to provide the knowledge and skills needed to start and grow new ventures. In addition to feasibility analysis and business planning, the minor deals with the topics of innovation, technology transfer, industry analysis, and competitive strategy. Although the minor introduces some fundamental concepts from accounting, finance, marketing, and management, it does not attempt to substitute for any business courses in these areas.
