The Commercial Entrepreneurship major is a redesigned, highly competitive, two-year program. Students will learn how to start and harvest a micro-business, focusing on the advantages and costs of the various sources of venture capital, opportunity recognition, market research, and feasibility. Students will also study technology commercialization, financial analysis, legal issues, and sales management. In the first two years at FSU, students should take courses in the following areas: General Education requirements, Multicultural Core requirements, and Prerequisite Coursework requirements.
