An entrepreneurial mindset empowers you to transform ideas into action. It’s about courage, creativity, strategic thinking, and smart risk-taking—combined with the ability to plan and execute effectively.
At USI, the Entrepreneurship Minor is open to students of all majors, giving you the tools to approach challenges and opportunities with innovation and confidence. Since its launch in 2010, the program has been nationally recognized by the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship as an outstanding emerging entrepreneurship program.
Entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting a business—it’s a way of thinking that makes you stand out in any career. Employers value graduates with entrepreneurial skills because they identify problems early, develop solutions, and drive innovation in any organization.
The Romain College of Business has earned accreditation from AACSB, which is considered the "gold standard" for business accreditation. Only 5.7% of business schools, globally, have earned that accreditation. Achieving accreditation is a multi-year process of rigorous internal focus, engagement with an AACSB-assigned mentor and peer-reviewed evaluation. Schools must develop and implement a plan to align with accreditation standards. These standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation; student, faculty, and staff as active participants; learning and teaching; and academic and professional engagement.
An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.
The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
An entrepreneurial mindset expands your career possibilities across every industry. With the ability to spot opportunities, create solutions, and adapt to change, you’ll be prepared to:
Launch and grow your own business
Innovate within established organizations
Transition smoothly across industries
Manage multiple career paths or income streams
No matter where your career takes you, the skills you gain through the Entrepreneurship minor will help you stand out as a problem-solver, innovator, and leader.
