The entrepreneurship major offered by Temple University’s Fox School of Business and Management integrates entrepreneurship theory and practice in an interdisciplinary approach to develop an understanding of the creation and management of an entrepreneurial business. The entrepreneurship major prepares students to start a business, be a productive member of an entrepreneurial business, assume responsibilities in a family business or become an effective manager in a growing business. Entrepreneurship majors create an idea for a new business, assess its feasibility, and develop a business plan. Students also experience two internships. Entrepreneurship majors are expected to be active members in the Entrepreneurial Student Association (ESA)

SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS

Students must attain an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher in the major and must maintain a 2.3 GPA overall in order to graduate as an entrepreneurship major. Students pursuing the entrepreneurship major will be evaluated at 45 s.h. to determine their eligibility to remain in the major. Criteria used in the evaluation will include GPA and participation in the Entrepreneurial Student Association.
