BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The Bachelor of Arts in Business Entrepreneurship serves the Simmons College of Kentucky mission of “educating people in the urban context through strong academic and professional programs” by focusing on how one can become self-employed and or how one grow an existing business.

The field of entrepreneurship is one that relies heavily on the ability to change and exploit new markets and opportunities so our students learn to be adaptable and ready for constant change. The entrepreneurship major uses skills such as creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration in real world settings to help them develop an entrepreneurial venture and mindset. By doing so, the program enables its students to “become productive citizens and agents of change in society (Simmons Mission Statement)” by becoming entrepreneurs who can become community leaders and employers who can help their communities thrive economically.

Our faculty members have experience and expertise in small business and non-profit development, local economic development, and organizational planning. Several have either owned or currently own their own businesses. Our curriculum gives one the knowledge to start a new venture or to grow an existing business.
