Do you know the difference between someone with a great idea and someone who turns their idea into a great business opportunity? One is an average Joe and the other is an entrepreneur. If you’ve seen The Social Network, you know the impact young entrepreneurs can have on the world is huge, and the reward can actually be as big as your dreams.
For some, the entrepreneurial bug bites at a very young age. You may have started in elementary school with a home-made lemonade stand. In middle school you may have moved up to raking yards, babysitting, or building websites for extra cash. Chances are, you’ve always been goal-oriented and ambitious.
If you’re motivated by the idea of one day bringing your ideas to life, of creating a product, service, or company, of being your own boss—and of course of being in control of your own profits Entrepreneurship at BSU is the program for you.
