About this program

The BBA with a Specialization in Entrepreneurship is for people who aren’t waiting around for the “right time” to start something. You’re not waiting. You’re building now.

You’ll dig into digital marketing, product development, financial planning, and startup strategy. You’ll figure out how to test an idea, pitch investors, scale smart, and avoid the mistakes that sink most early-stage businesses.

Through hands-on challenges, you’ll sharpen your instincts, build real-world experience, and graduate with practical skills— ready to launch your own venture or drive innovation within another.

You’ll study online in a structured format, surrounded by a global community of builders, dreamers, and doers. Expect to commit 15–20 hours per week, and expect to walk away with more than knowledge. You’ll gain the mindset, experience, and confidence that make your résumé (and your pitch) stand out.

Stop reading success stories. Start writing yours.
