Webster University’s entrepreneurship program empowers students to explore innovative
approaches to start new ventures or help grow existing ventures. Students learn how
to recognize and assess business opportunities, conduct economic and resource feasibility
analyses, and develop an entrepreneurial plan of action. Expert faculty promote entrepreneurial
thinking among students and help them to develop the necessary real-world skills for
founding and growing an entrepreneurial venture.
Students demonstrate these skills by developing and presenting a viable business plan
to a review panel made up of successful entrepreneurs in the capstone course. Opportunities
to connect with the entrepreneurship community, conduct research and get involved
in the Entrepreneurship Club help students build a network of connections and resources
that are vital to success.
As part of the degree program, qualified students may apply to participate in an
elective experiential learning course, the Entrepreneurship Practicum. Undergraduate
students in a wide variety of degree programs can opt to add a targeted certificate
in entrepreneurship with an emphasis in the following areas:
- Business
- Audio Production
- Music
- Photography
- Sports Business
- Graphic Design
- Animation
- Mobile Computing
- Film, Television and Video Production
