The major in Entrepreneurship and Innovation was designed by the Mike Ilitch School of Business to provide students with specialized knowledge and skills to develop and launch startup ventures, social impact ventures, or work at a startup within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Each student will complete 18 credits. Students take four required courses, and two electives from the options below. All prerequisites for each class must be completed. For students with more than one major, E&I required or elective courses taken for degree completion cannot also fulfill requirements toward a different major. In that case, an alternative E&I course will be identified. For transfer students, there is a limit of two classes that can be accepted for the degree requirements. A 2.0 GPA is required overall for the major.
