That doesn't matter as long as they can acquire them from somewhere else. You don't have to be an accountant to start your own business. However, you should know enough about accounting to be able to ask the right questions when you visit an accountant about your business. The minor also will focus on teaching students to see the world creatively, to come up with business ideas that match their skills with opportunities that exist in the marketplace, and putting it all together in a business plan. Starting a small business is a double-edged sword.
Small businesses have high failure rates, but a lot of people are successful, too.
The minor will require students to take a small business entrepreneur class, a creativity class, and a selection of business electives to supplement the basics. For more information about the entreprenuership minor, contact Wagner at 247-7625.
