Undergraduate Major
Belmont's College of Business offers a concentration in entrepreneurship for students pursuing a bachelor's in Business Administration. Entrepreneurship students balance classroom learning with participative experiences such as mentoring from faculty and community entrepreneurs, internships and opportunities to use the students' businesses as living laboratories.
Our undergraduate entrepreneurship major is designed to prepare those students who will someday pursue an entrepreneurial career.
We anticipate that a third of the students in the major will create businesses when they graduate, becoming their main or sole source of income. Many of these students will never work for someone else. Within five years of graduation, we expect half of our alumni will have started their own businesses. Studies have shown this is an excellent time in the lives of young people to begin an entrepreneurial career path. With our co-curricular education, our success rates should exceed 80 percent. The remaining graduates will find career in entrepreneurial businesses owned by others - often Belmont alumni - or in traditional corporate settings.
