Entrepreneurship Option

Penn State Altoona’s Entrepreneurship option embraces a broad vision of an entrepreneur, including both the individuals who start their own businesses and those who work intrapreneurially within existing organizations. Whether a small, midsize, or large business, organizations can achieve greater success through the creative and innovative thinking of the entrepreneur.

As an entrepreneurship student, you will gain skills essential to succeed in any business setting, including problem-solving, teamwork, and communication. Our program and faculty will develop and inspire you to succeed as entrepreneurs so that you can generate concepts to patent; turn unique ideas into opportunities; launch a successful business; purchase an existing company or franchise; and become a great leader, manager, and innovator.
