SDSU's College of Business Announces New Entrepreneurship Minor

The College of Business Administration at San Diego State University (SDSU) announced today that the college would offer a minor in entrepreneurship beginning in the fall of 2013. The entrepreneurship minor will be available to all undergraduate students regardless of their major area of study.

SDSU's College of Business Administration is among an elite set of business schools across the U.S. to offer an interdisciplinary entrepreneurship minor which include the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton), University of Southern California (Marshall), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler), and the Rutgers Business School.

The entrepreneurship minor was championed by Dr. Alex DeNoble, director of SDSU's Lavin Entrepreneurship Center and SDSU management professor and entrepreneurship expert, Dr. Congcong Zheng.

"In the current economic and social environment, small businesses are the most important sources of job creation and it is critical that we offer students from all majors the basic knowledge to successfully pursue and launch their entrepreneurial endeavors," added Zheng. "Additionally, it is good for business majors to work with students from across the campus since they will benefit from an infusion of perspectives from engineering, the arts and other disciplines."

For more information on the entrepreneurship minor, please contact SDSU's Undergraduate Business Advising Center.
