Entrepreneurship

Are you always coming up with creative business ideas? Do you want to start your own business, rather than work for someone else? If so, the entrepreneurship program might be the perfect fit for you!

Allan Hancock College’s entrepreneurship program provides students with the education and training needed to succeed as an entrepreneur today. Entrepreneurship has long been the backbone of the American economy, providing jobs and opportunities for students across diverse business industries. 

Entrepreneurship students learn important business concepts and theories about management, leadership, marketing, sales, accounting, financials, law, and technology. Students learn the basics of a startup or existing business and the steps to increase success. Students will create a strategic business plan necessary for building a business.

Students will move from theory to practice, while being given the tools needed to realize their dreams of business ownership. An Associate Degree in Entrepreneurship can open doors for ambitious students seeking to start a business and can support those already in the industry who are looking to build their knowledge base.
