You’re an entrepreneur at heart—either an aspiring one or already running your own business. What can an M.B.A. in Entrepreneurship offer you that’s better than just diving in and operating your company?
Plenty: When you can learn what to do—and most importantly, not do—from successful entrepreneurs who operated profitable companies themselves.
For starters, you’ll broaden your perspective substantially, studying all the key disciplines essential to driving a profitable, growing business. You’ll be challenged to solve tough problems and navigate roadblocks now, before they derail your business later. You’ll gain the expertise to create feasibility studies and business plans; participate as a team member in consulting assignments; and build an impressive real-world portfolio.

Alumni Tuition Discount InformationThe Entrepreneurship and Venture Creation course was a tremendous help in starting my own business. I was inspired by not only Dr. Tworoger’s expert instruction, but also his extensive real life experiences in starting a business. The class was a special favorite, and I eagerly participated in all ways available, including staying after class various times to discuss the business venture I had chosen to pursue (and have now begun!) with Dr. Tworoger.
