Overview

Looking at the data, the entrepreneurial route allows one to have a more immediate impact than joining the corporate world. In 2018, North Carolina data shows us that small businesses and start-ups accounted for 99.6% of the state's businesses and employed more than 1.6 million people in 2015. Small businesses also accounted for 50,881 net new jobs in the state. A closer look at the data shows that 60% of those new jobs were created by microbusinesses, which have 20 or fewer employees.

If you're interested in being an entrepreneur, you'll need to have the education and experiential knowledge if you want to launch your own business or follow an entrepreneurial career path after graduation. East Carolina University's Entrepreneurship, B.Sc. degree will get you ready for both opportunities.

ECU Advantage

The College of Business' Miller School of Entrepreneurship serves as a hub for preparing students to take an entrepreneurial mindset and skillset into their communities. Established in 2015, it's the only named school of entrepreneurship in North Carolina, which was made possible by a generous commitment of $5 million by a Raleigh area entrepreneur and ECU College of Business alumnus, J. Fielding Miller (chairman and CEO of CAPTRUST), and his wife, Kim Grice Miller.

In addition to our unique experiential-based entrepreneurship degree (BS in entrepreneurship) and certificate (entrepreneurship certificate), the Miller School links with key strategic partners to offer co-curricular programs that help catalyze regional transformation. Some of these key co-curricular programs include the Pirate Entrepreneurship Challenge, RISE29, Accelerate Rural NC and Summer Innovation Academy. The Miller School has been recognized as a Top 50 national entrepreneurship program by the Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine.
