Entrepreneurship

NURTURE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Our students are enterprising, creative individuals with fresh perspectives, and we champion that. We’re one of few universities to offer a bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurship. With a minor option available, too, you can build business savvy for a career across any major via the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute. Students can also pursue a B.I.S. in Social Entrepreneurship.

On campus, you’ll have access to a number of creative spaces to develop your skills and market your own ideas. Our E-House Living Learning Community connects industrious students through housing, workshops, competitions, networking and access to technology. And LaunchGSU acts as an incubator for student innovation for startup businesses.

Career Advancement

THE RECIPE FOR A REWARDING CAREER

A degree from Georgia State is a springboard to a rewarding career. But before and after you graduate, we’ll do everything in our power to set you up with the connections and experience to help you realize your dreams faster.

We’re proud of our Signature Experiences approach, which links you to internships, study abroad programs, service-learning opportunities and classes that feature simulation labs. Perhaps you’ll shadow nurses at Grady Memorial Hospital here in Atlanta, act as a teaching assistant at a local elementary school, study business practices around the world or participate in community volunteer work through your classes.
