skills to make it a reality? WSU’s online major in entrepreneurship provides the
foundation you need to be successful—whether you’re launching your own business or

Offered in partnership with the College of Business, the online entrepreneurship major builds on business fundamentals and offers a curriculum that develops the unique skill set necessary for successful entrepreneurship. WSU’s College of Business is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the premier accrediting agency for degree programs in business administration.

Career opportunities for entrepreneurship majors are virtually unlimited, bounded only by a student’s creativity, imagination, work ethic, and personal character. Entrepreneurship majors learn skills and attitudes that are valuable not only in the creation of new ventures, but also in reinvigorating established organizations.
