Entrepreneurship Minor
Entrepreneurship Minor
The Entrepreneurship minor will be an extension of the already existing Entrepreneurship certificate. The purpose of the certificate is to engage students in active participation in the development of entrepreneurial enterprises. They will do this through a combination of traditional course work specifically directed to entrepreneurial ventures and participation in an entrepreneurial enterprise experience through the development of a business plan for a new venture and an experiential project. The minor will expand this goal by allowing students to learn entrepreneurship skills that specifically fit their major and career.
The minor will entail the same classes as the Entrepreneurship certificate (currently 15 hours) with the addition of one elective course from the Marketing Department and one elective course from the student’s field of study.
A student can pursue the Entrepreneurship Minor or Entrepreneurship Certificate, but not both.
The full description with prerequisites and hours required are shown below:
Students must meet prerequisites before taking courses. A total cumulative or UNI cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required to declare this minor.

Wilson College of Business students cannot minor in Marketing.
All students majoring in business must complete 50% of their major coursework in the Wilson College of Business at UNI. Major coursework would include any undergraduate, credit-bearing, graded course taught in the Wilson College of Business at UNI. Business courses taken at UNI as credit/no credit do not qualify.

A student must earn a 2.20 cumulative grade point average at UNI; and earn an overall 2.20 grade point average in business-designated courses taken at UNI.
The Wilson College of Business limits the number of courses that can be counted towards major specific requirements across the College.

These exceptions include major combinations which allow two double-counted courses:
- MIS/Business Analytics
- Real Estate/Finance: Financial Management or Investments
- Business Analytics/Economics: Business Economics
This guideline is not applicable to the business core. There are no limitations to the number of courses that can be double-counted towards minors and/or certificates within the College.

Eligibility to declare a minor or a second Wilson College of Business major is based on competitive GPA and space availability.
