Not just for business majors.

Students interested in careers ranging from health sciences to graphic design may benefit from the courses offered through the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Many programs throughout Lipscomb's ten colleges, prepare students for vocations which indirectly entail principles of business and entrepreneurship.

The Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation offers an excellent minor to equip students outside of the College of Business with these elements that will enhance the success of their careers. The minor focuses on how business disciplines integrate with a variety of professions in order to develop more holistic and well-rounded professionals.
