W.P. Carey Entrepreneurship and Management, Minor

Department website: https://engineering.jhu.edu/cle/academics/undergraduate-studies/entrepreneurship-and-management-minor/

The Entrepreneurship & Management (E&M) program offers Johns Hopkins Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and Peabody students a broad array of courses designed to equip them to lead in professional and academic arenas. Some students simply take a course or two. Many choose to fulfill the seven-course E&M minor, pairing it with their engineering, liberal arts, or public health major. The minor’s four core courses, Foundations of American Enterprise, Financial Accounting, Decision Analytics (or any statistics course 200-level or higher) and a communications course (either Professional Writing and Communication or Oral Presentations), provide a strong foundation in the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. Students then complete two upper-level courses, and a 400-level capstone course to fulfill the minor.   

The minor in entrepreneurship and management^* focuses on leadership and management from a multidisciplinary viewpoint with a quantitative emphasis. The program, part of the Center for Leadership Education, offers students a diversified learning experience that emphasizes the concepts, practices, and skills necessary for effective leadership as managers and entrepreneurs in the public and private sectors.

The primary goal of the program is to provide Johns Hopkins students with the knowledge and skills to become effective leaders and entrepreneurs. Individuals with excellent technical training and abilities often move into management positions or start new ventures. As their careers progress, they will be better prepared for success if they have the ability to understand financial reports, interpret statistical data, organize and effectively lead a team, design strategy, analyze and correct problems in the firm's operations, and understand the dynamics of the marketplace. Thus, the program will help prepare students for entrance into a professional degree program or graduate school; moving more quickly into management positions; starting new ventures; or pursuing careers in finance and business.
