Entrepreneurial activity has been a potent source of innovation and job generation in the Global economy. In the U.S., the majority of new jobs are generated by new entrepreneurial firms. The concentration in entrepreneurship assists learners in developing an understanding of how a business enterprise is conceived, launched and sustained.

By successfully completing this program students will be able to identify viable business opportunities and how such opportunities are transformed into new ventures. Additional emphasis is placed on how successful entrepreneurial ventures compete for financial resources, identify and reach their target markets, and establish business processes, systems and controls to manage small and growth-oriented ventures.

If a currently enrolled Midway Student has not completed the BA curriculum they will need the permission of their Business Division academic advisor to enroll in the concentration courses.

When a student enrolls just for the concentration series of courses with the intention of completing a certificate they must have successfully completed BA 210: Principles of Accounting, BA 325: Business Plan Development and BA 430: Strategic Planning or equivalent before starting in the concentration courses
