Innovation Minor

The minor in Innovation teaches students from any major to create, communicate, and commercialize or otherwise realize meaningfully unique ideas in any field.  The minor in Innovation gives students the tools and confidence to create their own opportunities, and to realize a prosperous and sustaining future within or outside organizations, businesses, or institutions.  Students completing this minor will be able to lead change within their education, their careers, their affiliations, their communities and their personal lives.

Students will choose from one of two tracks.  These tracks allow two ways to earn the minor in a field of study in which multiple disciplines intersect. The MAKE track provides students the opportunity to complete independent Innovation projects in collaboration with external partners. The Business track allows students to focus more on innovation within an entrepreneurial context.  Innovation minors in the second track seeking to start their own businesses will also be advised to take an additional three courses to complete the Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor
