While the Center for Entrepreneurship offers a number of courses specifically focused on entrepreneurship, the mainstream curriculum of the Marriott School provides valuable course work to prepare entrepreneurs for the adventures and struggles in owning their own business.

Students accepted into the Marriott School Business Management Program start with a "core" set of classes in finance, marketing, production, and organizational behavior.  Business students will also declare an area of emphasis in which they will do 12-15 hours of undergraduate work.
