Entrepreneurship Degree
The U.S. economy is powered by entrepreneurship. Most of the new job creation in the past two decades comes from the small business sector. Student surveys indicate that many USU business students end up working for start-up and growth-oriented businesses. The entrepreneurship degree is an integrative degree that teaches both theory and practice with respect to starting and growing businesses. It prepares students to make decisions based on the impact to the whole organization and provides unique perspectives and insights with respect to how to recognize viable business opportunities and to develop business models that take advantage of unique competencies and capabilities. In addition, substantial emphasis on the appropriate acquisition and allocation of resources, as well as organizing, leading, is placed on empowering people.
