Overview

Entrepreneurs learn how to build a successful business from the ground up. You will learn how to generate ideas, analyze markets and assess business opportunities. Best of all, you will gain hands-on experience in developing the marketing and financial plans necessary to start your venture.

Today's economy is growing because of entrepreneurial-minded professionals who have vision, creativity and the leadership skills to affect change. Even if you don't start your own company, your success in the workplace is dependent on the ability to innovate and seize opportunities. No other concentration prepares you for success better than E&I.

BBA in Entrepreneurship & Innovation

Curriculum in our Entrepreneurship and Innovation program is designed to provide experiential learning opportunities. That means hands-on opportunities to practice the skills that are critical to entrepreneurial success. You will learn creativity, financial management and business planning, as well as how to develop digital marketing strategies, a pitch deck and presentations for financing.

Best of all, you’ll actually have the opportunity to launch your idea in the capstone course – Entrepreneurship Clinic. This Entrepreneurship and Innovation course at Washburn University has already launched multiple successful businesses built on the outstanding education provided by our dedicated faculty. You will also benefit from the strong ties of our faculty to the business community. In short, they can help you succeed because they have done it themselves.
