Learn How To Win at Business − From Those Who Did
You’re an entrepreneur at heart – either an aspiring one or already running your own business. What can an M.B.A. in Entrepreneurship offer you that’s better than just diving in and operating your company?
Plenty: when you can learn what to do – and most importantly, not do − from successful entrepreneurs who operated profitable companies themselves.
For starters, you’ll broaden your perspective substantially, studying all the key disciplines essential to driving a profitable, growing business. You’ll be challenged to solve tough problems and navigate roadblocks now, before they derail your business later. You’ll gain the expertise to create feasibility studies and business plans; participate as a team member in consulting assignments; and build an impressive real-world portfolio.
- Program covers both traditional M.B.A. courses and those tailored specifically for entrepreneurial development.
- Includes guest lecturers and accomplished professors - all have run their own successful businesses.
- Readies you to start a business, acquire an existing business, or run a division of a large corporation.
- The only business school in Florida–and one of the few in the nation–with entrepreneurship in our name.

"The [Entrepreneurship and Venture Creation] course was a tremendous help in starting my own business. I was inspired by not only Dr. Tworoger’s expert instruction, but also his extensive real life experiences in starting a business. The class was a special favorite, and I eagerly participated in all ways available, including staying after class various times to discuss the business venture I had chosen to pursue (and have now begun!) with Dr. Tworoger."
