What Will I Learn?

Many small businesses launch each year and many of them fail. While there are many reasons this may happen, the failures commonly involve the lack of sound business principles. This minor provides you with a foundation in accounting, business legal principles, management, and marketing helping you navigate the difficult decisions confronting a business owner. The minor completes with a course in entrepreneurship, which teaches you the basics of business planning.
