Innovation & Entrepreneurship Interdisciplinary Minor
The interdisciplinary minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship helps students develop a human-centered mindset that
they can use to create new social or commercial ventures or to reinvent organizations that will remain
competitive in an ever-changing landscape. Emphasis is placed on a hands-on experiential approach that will
prepare students to thrive in a fast-paced complex environment that puts a premium on empathy and the exchange
of diverse ideas to create innovative solutions. The 18-credit minor includes 36 courses from 19 different
majors that encourage students to develop an individualized course of study that complements their existing
major or professional interests. Students in Social Sciences, Humanities, Business, Natural and Applied
Sciences, Education, and Allied Health majors are welcome to enroll.

Thanks to the Innovation & Entrepreneurship minor, I was able to combine these passions through a Business Management major with the I&E minor. This path allowed me to take courses that fulfilled my passion for art and business.”
