** If you are pursuing the Entrepreneurship Concentration, please note the following information when selecting your elective course:

Courses that satisfy a requirement for the student in his or her major may NOT be used. The student is expected to propose an elective course, in the entrepreneurial spirit, that will enhance and support related learning and success of the entrepreneurial activity, project, or business that is the focus of the concentration.

For example, the elective course could be in a functional area of knowledge critical to the entrepreneurial project implementation (e.g., management, marketing, finance, economics, non-profit administration, healthcare administration). Another alternative could be a technical course critical to the project idea development (e.g., in the sciences, computers, engineering, technology, biology, architecture, arts).
