Be prepared for whatever opportunity brings.

This minor gives you an opportunity to explore entrepreneurship as a career option as you acquire knowledge, skills and connections that are useful across all career paths.

The minor in entrepreneurship increases the value of your undergraduate degree with:

Hands-on experience developing innovative ideas and putting them into action
Opportunities to create connections and network outside the classroom
Courses on how to develop sustainable solutions for social issues
Experiential learning through startups, both new businesses or social enterprises
A broad range of electives that will tailor your minor to your unique interests

The minor in entrepreneurship is part of Horn Entrepreneurship, which offers many unique opportunities and resources.

The Entrepreneurship Club (E-Club) at UD was founded to encourage students to have an entrepreneurial mindset, and to pursue business and networking opportunities outside of the classroom. The goal of the club is to build a close-knit community for students of all majors.
