Program Requirements

The Small Business/Entrepreneurship (SBE) program is a two-year program leading to the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree.

The program is designed to prepare students with the necessary skills to start their own business or to be a successful employee of a small business. The program features four courses specifically designed to help students begin their own business.

SBE students will develop the necessary skills to make innovative ideas become reality, specifically by:

  • Developing an understanding of the entrepreneurial process, from idea generation to the implementation of a new business or social venture.
  • Gaining the ability to identify, research and analyze potential markets that would enhance value and profitability.
  • Developing an understanding of the concept of risk and how its effect on new ventures can be minimized.
