Entrepreneurship majors need to complete their approved internship in an area of entrepreneurship. The internships may include, but are not limited to, new venture entrepreneurship, corporate entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship and venture finance. This requirement will be addressed through advising and will be coordinated with the LSB Internship Coordinator.
For students majoring in two or more majors offered in the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, BUS 3260 and one of ECO 3500, ECO 3100, or ECO 3110 may be counted in more than one major. However, all other Management and Entrepreneurship courses eligible to count in multiple majors may only count in one. For example, while MGT 3100 is either a required or elective course in the Business Analytics, Project Management, and Human Resource Management majors, it may only be counted once. This rule against double counting would not apply for students seeking a major and a minor.
