The USF Entrepreneurship and Innovation Major is designed to prepare students to pursue an entrepreneurial career. Students will learn the tools to design, launch, and grow new business ventures, either stand alone or within an existing corporation. Students will be able to tailor their Entrepreneurship and Innovation Major with course selections that include Entrepreneurial Management, Internet Business Applications, and Entrepreneurial Finance, among others. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to pitch their new business venture before a professional panel of executives and investors.
The San Francisco Bay Area, located in the global heart of Venture Capital and Technology Innovation, provides the ideal location for business students that wish to prepare themselves for an entrepreneurial career. USF was rated among the top 25 of the Nation's Most Entrepreneurial Campuses by Forbes and Princeton Review, and the USF Entrepreneurship Program faculty have both academic research and field experience in launching and growing new ventures.
