The Innovation and Entrepreneurship minor is an 15 credit program that prepares non-business majors for careers in which they commercialize new ideas into new business ventures or create new business lines for existing ventures. In addition to learning business fundamentals in accounting, economics, marketing, and management, students in this Minor learn how to create and finance new company, protect their intellectual property, and get to the right market on time. Students also interact with entrepreneurs and work in NJIT’s business incubator: VentureLink. In fact, many of our students create their companies before even graduating.
A Minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship will:
1. Expose you to real-world start-up ecosystems.
2. Let you plan more realistically your own entrepreneurial career plan.
3. Guide you through the formation of for-profits, non-profits, and divisions within corporations.
4. Help you commercialize your own innovations.
