Entrepreneurship (BBA)

The Bachelor of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship (BBA Entrepreneurship) equips and encourages students to succeed in their entrepreneurial ideas and pursuits. This degree gives students the option to focus on traditional entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, or business as mission. Practically, students are taught to identify where business opportunities exist, develop new ideas, recognize niches within their industries, and create business plans to support their ventures. DBU offers many events for networking, both in the general business world and the entrepreneurship community. Those who graduate from DBU with a BBA Entrepreneurship degree have the freedom and flexibility of working for themselves or an employer in almost any industry, including small business franchising, nonprofit management, general management, and new venture development.
