 An
MBA student concentrating in "Entrepreneurship/Small
Business" would be required to obtain a passing grade
in two "core" courses as noted below:
MGT
291 - Entrepreneurship
MGT 292 - Small Business
Management
A student
who is interested more broadly in the creation of new ventures,
including but not limited to technology-based ones, should
take the core courses and the following course:
MGT 293 - New Venture Initiation
Beyond
the required core courses, a student would be permitted to
further customize his or her program by selecting courses,
which emphasize "technology" as the driving force
for initiating some small businesses. A student choosing this
specialization would take:
MGT
235 - Technological Entrepreneurship and Innovation
The student
would also take two additional courses listed below (or substitutes
which are more specifically related to the student's career
interests and which are satisfactory to the student's advisor
and the Management Science Department):
MGT 214
- Behavioral Factors in Management Consulting
MGT 233 - Emerging
Technologies
The student
would also take two additional courses listed below (or substitutes
which are more specifically related to the student's career
interests and which are satisfactory to the student's advisor
and the Management Science Department):
MGT 214
- Behavioral Factors in Management Consulting
MGT 290 - New Ventures
Financing: Angel & Venture Capital
MGT 293 - New Venture
(and E-Venture) Initiation
MKTG 242 - Buyer Behavior
MKTG 243 - Marketing Research
MKTG 246 - Marketing of Services
MKTG 250 - Selling and Sales Management
A student who does not wish to emphasize technology or startups
would be encouraged to take the core courses but would not
qualify for a concentration in Entrepreneurship/Small Business
unless he or she also competed satisfactorily three additional
courses from those listed above.
An optional
course is provided, but not required:
MGT 294
- Strategic Entrepreneurship
It is
assumed that MBA students choosing the Entrerpreneurship/Small
Business concentration will acquire adequate knowledge of
basic finance and accounting fundamentals through the core
requirements for the MBA degree.
A student
can include MGT 298 - Directed Readings and Research, which
is an independent study over the course of one semester, in
his or her curriculum.
