Entrepreneurship
Why Study Entrepreneurship?
If you are interested in starting your own business or are looking for special training to manage a family business, consider joining one of the fastest growing majors in the nation at one of the strongest programs available — Belmont University’s Center for Entrepreneurship. Named as one of the Top 25 Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Programs in the country by Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine in September 2008, this program was also the winner of the National Model Undergraduate Program by the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE) in January 2008. Only five years young, the program was recognized in its second and third years of existence by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the Top Ten schools in the nation with an Emphasis in Entrepreneurship.
Belmont’s award-winning program manages five student-run businesses and provides students with the resources and support needed for them to start their own businesses. The on-campus Business Hatcheries can be utilized for office space and tools, as well as for meeting spaces for colleagues and clients.
While some students come to Belmont with an operating business already in-hand, many will start a business while they are enrolled in our program. It is anticipated that a third of the students concentrating in entrepreneurship will create businesses that become their main or sole source of income after graduation. Within five years of graduation, we expect half of our alumni to have started their own businesses. Graduates who don't go into business for themselves will find careers in entrepreneurial businesses owned by others or in traditional corporate settings.
