About The Minor
The Minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation is open to any MSU undergraduate student, regardless of major or home college. At the Burgess Institute, whether you're studying Anthropology or Zoology, we firmly believe a minor in entrepreneurship and innovation empowers students with an entrepreneurial mindset. That mindset is appealing to future employers—especially if you want to be your own boss. Ready to start earning your minor? Awesome! We're excited to get you started.
The Requirements
Earning your Minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation requires the completion of fifteen (15) credit hours and two (2) experiences. Here's what you need to know:
- At least six (6) of the fifteen (15) credits must be unique to the Minor. That is, they cannot be used to fulfill another university, college, or major requirement.
- Two required core courses (3 credit hours each)
- ESHP 190: The Art of Starting (formerly BUS 190)
- CAS 114 (or AL 114 – it’s the same course): Creativity and Entrepreneurship
- Nine (9) elective credits selected from the list on this page.
- Two High-Impact Experiences: Students are also required to complete two entrepreneurial and innovation experiences to earn the Minor; however, anyone can choose to do an Experience, regardless of whether or not they are enrolled in the Minor.
Students who complete an Experience will have the following designation put on their transcript next to the course name: ENTREP & INNOVATION OPTION
