There are more than 25 million small businesses in the U.S. alone. Globally, the number is inestimable. Many successful corporations and non-profit organizations create entrepreneurial teams to stimulate innovation and creative problem-solving. The opportunities for entrepreneurs are literally limitless, both in and out of the corporate world.

Entrepreneurship is not just the purview of business. Churches, non-profit organizations, and even government agencies use entrepreneurial methods to develop fresh ideas, creative problem solving, and innovative ways of doing things.

Can you see yourself developing and implementing a successful business plan? Inventing a new product or creating a new service? Have you dreamed of owning your own business? Do you have drive and ambition? A vision to offer products or services that are different and better than everyone else's? Do you find yourself often thinking that there must be a better way of doing things? If so, you may find that Entrepreneurship is the right major for you.
