Passionate Students
And I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. –Robert Frost |
Our students want to change the world, they are not looking for a free ride, a handout, or a shortcut.Tthey want to work, to have a plan and to execute that plan. Our students take the road less traveled. they are not interested in safe career paths to middle management.
Students will graduate the program knowing how to research an idea, compile critical information and data in a compelling format, formulate feasibility studies and business plans, present and pitch their ideas, assemble critical resources and proficiently solve problems. They will also learn how to execute great plans, analyze and research many different industries, recruit and lead great people, develop a network of support and identify patterns for execution. Students learn the role of experience, making the pie bigger, adding great people, the value of a rolodex, the necessity of a mentor, and most importantly, how to make money.
Because of the popularity of the program, our student base is extremely diverse. We have majors from all across the university. We have a number of foreign students, both exchange and permanent; we have a good mix of people of different ethnic groups and genders. This diversity creates a dynamic classroom environment where students understand the global aspects of consumer driven entrepreneurship and how to solve problems with peers of different backgrounds.
