As part of the Paul College of Business and Economics, the business administration major entrepreneurial studies option fosters an entrepreneurial culture throughout the program. It is focused on applied, real-world learning where teachers are not only world-renowned faculty members, but also include entrepreneurs, employers and investors. Key program features include an internship at an entrepreneurial venture, a senior project where students present their own business concept, and the opportunity to team up with engineering/physical science students to develop a technology based business and present a prototype in a national competition.

A typical plan of study follows, showing the major-required courses. Students take 16-18 credits per semester. Discovery Program requirements (including the Inquiry requirement in the first two years) and elective courses are taken as well. Students are expected to follow this course plan. In the first three semesters, students cannot take more than two major courses in a single semester. The options have additional requirements as noted. For a detailed schedule/plan of study for each option, students should check with the Paul College Undergraduate Programs and Advising Office for specific recommendations.
