Benefits of an Entrepreneurial Studies Degree

Small businesses and entrepreneurship have been around since the beginning of the U.S. colonies stemming from the small farmers selling and bartering their goods in the 1800’s.  According to the Office of Advocacy, there were 627,200 new small businesses started in 2008.  That means a great deal of competition for entrepreneurs.  A sound education is needed to rise above and compete with other businesses.  Students graduate with a full understanding of what it takes to run a new venture, from financing and marketing to organizational behavior.

Career Choices

The career options are limitless.  Beyond the obvious career of business owner in any industry, one can also become a business consultant helping companies with their start up or growth plans.  There are also venture capital groups that employ many graduates.
