Entrepreneurship Major

The entrepreneurship & innovation major at Suffolk is about far more than just launching a startup. It’s about learning how to identify opportunities others overlook, connect ideas across disciplines, and take confident action. You’ll develop a broad, executive-level way of thinking that prepares you to create value—whether you’re building something new, joining a startup, or driving innovation inside an established organization.

Students gain valuable hands-on experience through pitch competitions with real funding, live consulting projects with startups and nonprofits, design-thinking challenges, employer-in-residence networking events, and practical training in areas like AI-enabled research, sustainability, and customer discovery. These experiences ensure you don’t just study entrepreneurship—you practice it.

Designed to pair easily as a second major or minor, the entrepreneurship & innovation program complements fields like marketing, finance, analytics, management, economics, and global business. You can also earn an entrepreneurship & innovation minor.

Graduates leave with the skills to lead teams, grow or take over a family or small business, innovate within organizations, and make strategic decisions with a big-picture mindset—skills that are in demand across every industry.
