Master of Entrepreneurship

Western Carolina University

Overview

The mission of the Master of Entrepreneurship degree is to inculcate entrepreneurial vision and entrepreneurial will in our graduates. The first part of our mission requires that we develop in our graduates the skills to identify entrepreneurial opportunities that exist: those opportunities that represent untapped markets and underserved markets; and those opportunities that can be created by applying existing technologies to new fields and new markets. Of equal importance is the requirement to develop the skills to create entrepreneurial opportunities: the invention, development, and exploitation of entirely new ideas, products, and services; and the creation of new industries, infrastructures, and ways of doing business.

The second part of our mission requires that we develop the self confidence in our graduates that is required to actually establish and grow entrepreneurial ventures. Self confidence comes from the mastery of entrepreneurial skills necessary to start a venture, establish it successfully in a competitive marketplace, to grow the venture effectively, to develop value in the venture, and, ultimately to harvest it.

Our mission encompasses all types of entrepreneurial ventures: not-for-profit and government venues, and for-profit business ventures.
