A new entrepreneurship/family business major at the University of Cincinnati will get students prepared to start their own ventures or work for small, entrepreneurial, or closely-held firms. The entrepreneurship major will drill into the process of ideation, conceptualization, formulation and implementation of new ventures. It also includes detailed information on business organization models, accounting, finance, information systems, tax and legal issues for new venture start-ups and family firms. A senior capstone field experience working with a small, entrepreneurial, closely held firm, larger organization, or non-profit to apply the curriculum will be required.
"While we anticipate that entrepreneurship majors are interested in starting their own ventures, majors are also well prepared to work for businesses and organizations that interact with small, entrepreneurial and family venture on a regular basis," says Chuck Matthews, executive director of the Center for Entrepreneurship Education and Research in UC’s College of Business.
