Entrepreneurship is the major designed for students interested in starting a business.  The curriculum will cover basic business principles like accounting, management, and marketing, but it will also cover issues unique to small and emerging businesses. 

Small businesses fail for many reasons, but usually because of unrealistic expectation, a lack of planning, or a poor understanding of business concepts.  A business degree in entrepreneurship helps future business owners in those regards. Students will also learn through case studies and group projects.  

President Bush saluted private business owners. He did so during his weekly radio address while drinking coffee with, among other entrepreneurs, George Boedecker, who founded of Crocs in 2002.  In the years after its founding, Crocs quickly became a large, multi-national corporation. 

The business world is changing; it is no longer ruled by a handful of monopolies. There is room for new businesses.  Small business owners employ more than half of the private workforce, create new jobs
every year, and contribute to America's Gross Domestic Product.  Small business are the backbone of the American economy, and the nation
always needs mavericks with the courage to start their own business. 

Of course when starting out in a new business, the salary will
be very low, the hours will be long, and the probability of success is
low.   One has to have good self-discipline, a willingness to take
risks, and the composure to know when to cut his or her losses.  But
not every venture is a failure; all it takes is a good education, and a
great idea.
