THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP MAJOR

The mission of the Entrepreneurship Major at Bradley University is to develop the enthusiasm, knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to start, grow, manage, and reap the rewards of a business. The Entrepreneurship Major provides a mix of theory and hands-on learning that includes both the uniqueness of entrepreneurial ventures and the application of functional area business knowledge to the entrepreneurial discipline.

Students with an Entrepreneurship Major seek the independence and challenge of wearing many hats rather than the specialized careers in many large businesses. They may desire to own their own business, work in small or medium-sized businesses, or work in entrepreneurially-focused large companies.
