Entrepreneurship courses should be required for all

By: Giovanni Gonzalez/Staff Writer

Personal finance and entrepreneurship courses should be required in every major because the skills these courses teach will create options for students other than just being an underling at some company.

Without any formal education on entrepreneurship, most people resort to trial and error, many times eventually failing. According to home-business-expo.com, about half of small businesses fail within five years due to a lack of experience. Requiring personal finance and entrepreneurship courses with every major is a great way to prepare those who may want to eventually start a business.

Entrepreneurship education at the University, should be taught to all students and should have as much emphasis in being taught as math or writing skills.

If entrepreneurial classes are required, then students will have to be exposed to the entrepreneurial setting to complete their majors and will be better prepared when they graduate.
