Students interested in learning about starting and managing businesses can now minor in “Entrepreneurship and Innovation,” a new minor that the University revealed on Monday. Susan Fleming ’08, minor director and senior lecturer at the School of Hotel Administration, said the minor was created in light of the “tremendous interest” in the subject on campus, citing successful entrepreneurship programs such as eLab and entrepreneurship at Cornell. They can be taught how to manage and approach world problems in innovative and entrepreneurship minded ways, and that’s what we want to teach.”Starting in April, students in any major can declare the Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor. “Educational programs like the minor can help make people better entrepreneurs,” Roach said. “There’s a lot of students who are aspiring entrepreneurs, and courses are a good way for students to learn about entrepreneurship and hone their idea.”Zachary Schulman, director of Entrepreneurship at Cornell, said that the new minor will help boost initiatives for entrepreneurship at Cornell.
