Website: https://www.fgcu.edu/school-of-entrepreneurship/entrepreneurship-bs
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Entrepreneurship provides students with a comprehensive set of skills to create and lead new ventures or acquire jobs in established companies. Businesses recruit entrepreneurship students because of their eagerness to take initiative and see opportunities where others only see problems. The learning environment is both applied and experiential. Students in the major regularly engage with both retired and active business owners.
The coursework promotes active, project-based learning. Students will use cutting-edge tools to design new products, work effectively in teams, and make organizations grow. Entrepreneurs are action-oriented and know how to bring resources together to pursue opportunities. These skills are taught and reinforced throughout the curriculum.
