Entrepreneurship Minor
The McDonough School of Business offers a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation for the Common Good for undergraduate business students.
In a rapidly changing and highly turbulent global economy, the ability to think creatively, challenge the status quo, and take calculated risks are “must-have” leadership skills. The pace of change and disruption in our world is likely to continue its upward climb, and traditional approaches to problem solving are often inadequate. The minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation for the Common Good provides McDonough students with the chance to develop critical skills and to apply entrepreneurial concepts and problem-solving tools to become successful changemakers in their chosen area of focus.
The minor is not exclusively for students who want to launch companies – it is designed to prepare students for success in a range of environments where an entrepreneurial mindset is a distinct advantage – including strategy, corporate innovation, and new product development roles. Drawing from Georgetown’s Jesuit tradition, the minor will help students understand how an entrepreneurial mindset can be applied to key social challenges such as economic development, social justice, poverty, diversity, and globalization.
