There is a sincere belief and commitment among the faculty and administration of the MSU College of Business that an entrepreneurship program can make a significant contribution to the economic development of the state and provide a framework for an outstanding educational experience for students. Within the College curriculum, entrepreneurship course work is offered to students from any major in the University through a 30 credit-hour entrepreneurship minor.

The course work in the minor is integrated with research assignments in the Center to offer students unique and potent developmental experiences. Students provide research assistance to TechRanch clients and MSU scientists who are interested in the commercial potential of their science. Outside the College and its formal curriculum, outreach programs create a forum for various entrepreneurial groups and act as a catalyst for developing and strengthening businesses.

NOTE: The Entrepreneur Day is funded in-part by a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SBA s funding should not be construed as an endorsement of any products, opinions, or services. All SBA-funded projects are extended to the public on a nondiscriminatory basis.
