EIU's Entrepreneurship Minor, open to all majors, teaches students to spot opportunities, protect their ideas, and build a venture plan. Through hands-on courses and experiences — guest entrepreneurs, field trips, a student-led national org chapter, and an annual Shark Tank-style pitch competition — students gain real skills to launch a business or grow a family enterprise.

"My experience at EIU could not have been better. While in the classroom, I got to learn from amazing, engaging faculty who helped build my skills and confidence, and outside of the classroom, I got to be part of an amazing community and make lifelong memories."Joshua NorthamMGT | Class of 2026, Business Management major
