Career Prospects

Prepare for Success in Diverse Entrepreneurial Careers

Entrepreneurs make up a diverse sector of the economy. Most businesses in the state of Florida are small businesses accounting for 44% of private sector jobs. These types of businesses form the backbone of the U.S. economy, representing 98% of all U.S. businesses. A 2013 study showed Miami as a powerful economic engine with the highest rate of entrepreneurial activity in the country.

Eighty-six percent of U.S. millionaires are self-made, with 21% gaining their wealth from the sale of a business. Many of the most entrepreneurial innovators are immigrants. Despite accounting for only about 13 percent of the population, immigrants now start more than a quarter of new businesses in the U.S. More than 20 percent of the 2014 Inc. 500 CEOs are immigrants.

Many students will emerge from the program to found their own companies. Others will be early-stage employees by joining a start-up team, or they may develop a business idea in their free time, becoming “second job entrepreneurs.” Graduates will be valued as top “intra-preneurial” employees at large enterprises, based on the strength of their entrepreneurial outlook, mindset and skills.

A degree in Entrepreneurship prepares students for employment in a number of areas such as:

Start-up strategy and execution
Product development
Project management
Digital and social media marketing
User experience design
Organizational development
Human resources and team management
