The 21-credit Minor in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management is intended for non-business majors who have aspirations and goals in business that will require entrepreneurial skills. Such students might plan to open businesses of their own or work for smaller and/or family-owned businesses. As an alternative to the more traditional minor in business, the minor in entrepreneurship and small business management could fulfill such students’ educational needs while allowing them to pursue their career goals more directly.

• Complete 26 or more credit hours of college work that counts toward graduation and be admitted to an appropriate degree-granting school at IU Bloomington.

  • BUS-A 200 or BUS-A 201 or BUS-A 202 (3 cr.)
