The minor in entrepreneurship and management focuses on business and management from a multidisciplinary viewpoint, with a quantitative emphasis. The program offers students a diversified learning experience that emphasizes the concepts, practices, and skills necessary for effective leadership as managers and entrepreneurs in the public and private sectors.

The primary goal of the program is to provide Hopkins students with the knowledge and skills to become effective leaders. Individuals with excellent technical training and abilities often move into management positions or start new ventures. As their careers progress, they will be better prepared for success if they have the ability to understand financial reports, interpret statistical data, organize and effectively lead a team, analyze and correct problems in the firm's operations, and understand the dynamics of the marketplace.

The minor is purposely designed to serve several types of students. The program will help prepare students for entrance to law school, an MBA program, or other graduate school. Other students will start working in engineering or technical positions, then later move into management or start their own business. A third group of students is primarily interested in gaining knowledge to follow their interests in investments and personal finance.

Courses that may be used to satisfy requirements for the minor are grouped into four categories: accounting/finance, business law, management/leadership, and marketing/communications. Lists of acceptable courses are regularly updated and may be obtained at the Center for Leadership Education office or here.
