ENTREPRENEURSHIP

LEARN

PRACTICE

LAUNCH

Do you dream of creating your startup? Are you aspiring to launch a business, disrupt a market or change the world with your big idea? If you are a visionary with the passion and determination to shape the future, you can practice entrepreneurship as a way of life. Entrepreneurs are creative, innovative, ambitious, dynamic, and energetic leaders. They bring new ideas, technologies, and solutions to the market and improve our lives.

Our immersive learning environment drives a constant flow of dynamic ideas, leading to genuine change and lasting impact. Our entrepreneurship training and development integrate analytical and creative thinking to generate and build opportunities, empowering learners to transform and reshape the world in sustainable and scalable ways. As a result, our learners can match their unique talent with business expertise and become the entrepreneurial leader the world needs. We train our learners to solve big problems and ground those solutions in a well-rounded education in math, science, and the liberal arts.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

We provide a high-quality education that prepares learners for entrepreneurship, small business management, and leadership. The Entrepreneurship Program teaches learners the skills for different careers:

  • Start their businesses.
  • Work for growth-oriented and innovative firms.
  • Work in family businesses.
  • Bring an entrepreneurial perspective to their chosen fields.

Developing an entrepreneurial mindset is a lifelong skill that supports learners in opportunity recognition and exploitation and other careers and professions. AAMU learners are motivated to generate positive and productive change in their communities.

We are one of the few institutions in the North Alabama area offering entrepreneurship. The program is built on a combination of theoretical contents and hands-on assignments, developing skills applicable to the workforce and providing case studies that learners can display as part of their expertise. In addition, technology integration in the entrepreneurship program aims to enhance learners' engagement and make their learning experience more complete. By doing so, we create one seamless experience that blends a tight-knit community with a pool of opportunities for our learners.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM AND NASA TTO

The entrepreneurship program is part of NASA T2University Program (Technology Transfer University Program) with the course ETR 440. Teams of learners are asked to explore the NASA patent portfolio, identify a technology of interest, and find a new life and a terrestrial use for that technology to enhance its commercialization opportunities. Learners are supported with workshops and meetings with the technology inventors. 

OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING… 

 

The C.O.B.P.A. Entrepreneurship Program here is outstanding. The projects offered to Alabama A&M Business students are extremely innovative, featuring new experiences such as global workshop opportunities and social networking events. A plethora of support is available in this program. There are also multiple professors encouraging the importance of starting new ventures and generating great ideas that can help us to actually “start here, go anywhere.”

Entrepreneurship’ 23

My experience with A&M's Entrepreneurship program has been nothing short of exemplary. The directors and professors have personally tailored our classes to reflect the experiences we will face as business owners and CEOs in the future. Everyone we connect with is there to help us not only academically and through references but as mentors when entering our careers. This program encourages us to take risks, explore every passion we've considered, and "fail" without the consequences we would likely experience after graduation. There isn't another program in the business department that I would have chosen instead. Our Entrepreneurship program was the way to go. –

COURSEWORK IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Entrepreneurship is an interdisciplinary area of study. Therefore, our program design reflects the interdisciplinary value of entrepreneurship and weaves it throughout our curricular and co-curricular programs. Our coursework provides the foundation for understanding the processes, finances, and context of entrepreneurship. Through the coursework, our learners are trained to evaluate the feasibility and drivers of business opportunities, design viable business models, and practice entrepreneurship as a way of life. We teach conceptual and analytical approaches to all aspects of opportunity recognition, opportunity, evaluation, launching, growing, and expanding businesses and organizations. The skills learned in our entrepreneurship classes enable our learners to be designers of new ideas and processes for organizations, large or small, public or private, corporate or not-for-profit, and local or global.
