Entrepreneurship Emphasis
Designed for business students who aspire to own and grow their own business rather than pursuing a career with an established company. Coursework for this emphasis area focuses on subjects ranging from planning and opportunity recognition to financing, structuring and managing risk. In addition to formal coursework, students in this emphasis should expect to establish contacts and networks within the business community as they explore entreprenuership.
The courses beyond the BBA core course requirements for the Entreprenuership emphasis include:
- BA332 Contracts or BA360 Business Organizations
- BA351 Organizational Behavior or BA361 Human Resource Management
- BA363 Marketing Communications
- BA427 Marketing & Entrepreneurial Finance
- BA485 New Business Ventures

Degree Requirements (2009-2010 CATALOG)
Candidates must complete the general education requirements (GERs) as well as the specific program requirements listed in this section for a minimum of 120 credit hours. Any given course may be counted as fulfilling more than one requirement in a degree program, but the credit hours can only be counted once. Degrees must include 42 credits of upper-division (300 or above) courses, 24 of which must be completed at UAS. Courses used as major requirements cannot be used as GERs.
A minimum grade of C must be earned in math (through MATH S107) and communication classes taken in the general education requirements. In addition, all students in the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) program must either test out of or earn a C or better in 3 hours of CIOS electives, 3 hours of CIOS spreadsheet or database courses, STAT S273, major and emphasis courses, and BA 462, Capstone. Students should complete the computer courses within their first sixty (60) credit hours.
Students in any of the business programs who are deemed deficient in any of the competency areas may be required to take additional courses to strengthen their skills before graduation. Any such additional courses can usually be counted as a program elective. Requiring supplementary course work will be considered if two different faculty members indicate a student has a weakness in the same outcome area.
