Entrepreneurship, AAS



Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

Entrepreneurship plays a vital role in the growth of the U.S. economy. The number of new business establishments (establishments that are less than 1-year-old in any given year) tends to rise and fall with the business cycle of the overall economy. Entrepreneurs start new businesses and take on the risks and rewards of being an owner. Those who plan ahead and educate themselves on the range of issues that will impact their business before they start are the most successful. Annual salaries vary by industry and level of success.

If you are considering starting your own business, consider contacting NPC’s Small Business Development Center for a free consultation and assistance in contracting with governmental agencies or preparing Small Business Administration loan applications.

The Entrepreneurship certificates and degree require a grade of “C” or better in all courses and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.
