菲爾萊狄金森大學

Entrepreneurs are in high demand, as they are essential to our society in building the economic engines that help our economy grow. They foster technological and social change, and their innovation and creativity forge our future.

The undergraduate entrepreneurship program at Rothman Institute combines class work and outreach programs that provide you with the opportunity to learn and practice entrepreneurship in a real environment. It offers a thorough and practical understanding of the issues involved in both starting a business and fostering innovation in a corporate setting.

The curriculum focuses on how the entrepreneurial process is applied in a variety of organizational contexts within and across national borders, ranging from new start-ups and rapid growth small firms to large corporations and nonprofits. Various perspectives on opportunity recognition and creative problem-solving are provided in an effort to help students capitalize on their own entrepreneurial potential.

Classes are taught using a combination of lectures, case studies, team exercises, guest speakers and fieldwork. Students can draw from a variety of carefully selected courses to become business generalists, well-versed in organizing and managing resources.

This major and concentration is offered under the auspices of the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, Silberman College of Business, at the Florham Campus, Madison, New Jersey.

Career Opportunities

Students majoring in Entrepreneurship develop the skills necessary to identify a marketable product or service and to carry out the tasks required to get it to customers. They learn how to develop a business plan to organize their efforts and launch the venture. Entrepreneurship graduates typically start their own ventures, work with a small or family business, or pursue “intrapreneurial” careers with major corporations.
