Family Enterprise Management Minor
Family Enterprise Management Minor - 4 Units
The School of Business Administration offers a Family Enterprise Management minor for undergraduate students with any major. This program prepares students to work with family-owned enterprises (their own and others), and professional firms that work with these family-owned enterprises. The focus of the program is to complement the students’ academic major and develop skills in two interrelated areas. First, students develop an understanding of family systems and the role that they play in that system. Students then learn to understand how the family system interrelates and can enhance the enterprise system. Skills developed in this minor include self-assessment, character development, analytical thinking, ongoing interaction with professionals, and career development.
Any student enrolled in the minor will have the opportunity to work with family-owned enterprises. The benefits of involvement include increased self-confidence and marketability. Families of students are invited to become involved with the Family Enterprise Center through speakers, course events, and family retreats.
