"Being a part of the
Entrepreneurial Studies Program was the best
decision I've made in my college career. The
curriculum covers all the important business
topics, whether it is marketing, finance, sales,
and accounting its all in there. Having professors
like Ron Morris and Chris Allison is a huge
asset to all of us because of all the knowledge
they have racked up in years or entrepreneurial
experience. The classes put you in the driver's
seat and force you to make type of important
decisions that entrepreneurs make everyday.
I am now able to use these lessons and experiences
in the Real World." |

“Through my years
in the program I have gathered a wealth of
knowledge and experience that I believe is
unrivaled by any other entrepreneurial program.
Our professors, Ron Morris and Chris Allison
provide a lifetime of business know-how and
lessons that have been of the utmost benefit
to all of us. Not only have I learned what
I want to do when I graduate, I also learned
what I didn't. I found that working for a huge
corporation where I would be generally focused
on one facet of business and be forced to work
my way up a stiff hierarchy of command isn't
the way to go. I found that getting in with
a small, entrepreneurial company, rolling my
sleeves up and working with someone who can
teach me directly through the successes and
failures that they have endured over their
lifetime is the best way to learn and grow
as a business professional. I'm very thankful
I decided on this program and highly recommend
it to anyone interested in becoming an entrepreneur.” |
