A track in Entrepreneurship prepares students to start and/or manage small businesses.  With courses in Small Business Management, Entrepreneurial Development, Integrated Marketing Communication, and other management and marketing courses, students graduate with an understanding of the unique challenges facing small businesses and have a business plan to address those issues.  Entrepreneurship students have opportunities to participate applied learning experiences such as state and regional business plan competitions and consulting with small businesses through ATU’s Small Business Technology and Development Center.
