Entrepreneurial Studies Minor

Students majoring in any academic major will have the opportunity to increase their knowledge of the skills needed to start, own, and/or operate a business, become a community leader; transfer technology to a merchandisable product; and assist others in entrepreneurial efforts. In today’s competitive job market, a student who has the ability to “market” his/her skills effectively will be able to enter the job market with greater confidence and expertise. In addition, the entrepreneurial spirit is alive in South Dakota and the global community students must now enter in order to find a job or start a business of their own. This minor is designed to give all students the opportunity to earn a better living and to contribute to society via their chosen field (major) by becoming an entrepreneur.
