What You’ll Learn

You’ll learn to identify opportunities and risks, analyze data, and create sound business plans.
Outside the Classroom, In the Community
Gaining real-world experience is key for Entrepreneurship students, and Vermont State’s Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship helps to connect you with opportunities to learn and work in a variety of fields through internships and work experiences.
You will also benefit from direct experience with staff from the Vermont Small Business Development Center. Staff bring their knowledge right into the classroom through visits and presentations, and act as mentors for business plan writing and as judges for business plan presentations — offering you opportunities to make valuable connections all along the way.
“Entrepreneurship is a great major because you learn the fundamental aspects of owning your own business and being the person giving orders instead of taking them. The program also teaches the importance of finance and how to make smart [financial] decisions.”
