An entrepreneurial mindset gives you the ability to turn ideas into action; it includes courage, creativity, prioritizing and risk-taking, as well as the ability to plan in order to achieve objectives. At USI, the Entrepreneurship Minor is open to all students in any major area. Since the Entrepreneurship Minor launched in fall 2010, it has been nationally recognized as an outstanding emerging entrepreneurship program by the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship isn’t a "job"; it’s a way for you to think about and approach challenges and opportunities. It’s well established that the entrepreneurial mindset makes for outstanding employees because you’ll identify problems early and present solutions.
The Romain College of Business has earned accreditation from AACSB, which is considered the "gold standard" for business accreditation. Only 5.7% of business schools, globally, have earned that accreditation. Achieving accreditation is a multi-year process of rigorous internal focus, engagement with an AACSB-assigned mentor and peer-reviewed evaluation. Schools must develop and implement a plan to align with accreditation standards. These standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation; student, faculty, and staff as active participants; learning and teaching; and academic and professional engagement.
An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.
The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
Career options are limitless when enhanced with an entrepreneurial mindset. Having an entrepreneurial mindset will help you navigate your way, help you to find and create opportunities, move across industries, and manage multiple sources of income.
