Entrepreneurship
It starts with an idea. Successful entrepreneurs, however, realize that even the best ideas will go nowhere without a plan - and that the best plans will go nowhere without the will and skill to execute them. Marquette University's major in entrepreneurship is designed to give you the knowledge and skills to know yourself, and to channel your entrepreneurial spirit. THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE
IDEALISM AND REALISM TOGETHER. Unlike other schools' entrepreneurship programs, Marquette emphasizes a realistic approach to lifelong career planning, not just quick-hitting, fast growth ventures. It's an approach that benefits students who already run their own businesses, as well as those preparing for that eventuality.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT
Marquette entrepreneurship majors are well prepared to begin execution of solid business plans they formed in college, using the networks they formed on the way. But an entrepreneurship major is also great preparation for various business fields (such as accounting, finance, administration, information technology and nonprofit organizations) where a professional intends to work with or for entrepreneurs. The major also accommodates the particular needs of family business members.
