The Business School has just opened
UW’s first competitive minor, the Entrepreneurship Minor. The deadline
to apply for the winter quarter is October 25th, and we will announce another date in the spring for fall
admission. See the following for more information.
Start-ups. They only
start with the idea.
Your business skills could turn that idea into a
reality.
Some people are just born to change the world. They see opportunities
everywhere—from the daily annoyances to the grand challenges that face
our society. But we can tell you that it takes more than a great idea.
It takes the savvy skill set, knowledge, and
energy of an entrepreneur. If you’re a visionary with the passion and
determination to shape the future, get the business know-how with the
Foster School’s new, competitive
Entrepreneurship Minor for undergraduates.
Students who pursue the minor are creative and motivated, and looking
for ways to apply the knowledge they’ve gained from their major to an
entrepreneurial endeavor. Open to all non-business undergraduates, this
31-credit competitive minor offers students
the opportunity to leverage their unique talents, as well as their
new-found business knowledge, to achieve their start-up goals.
