Those with Northern Kentucky University's Innovation & Entrepreneurship degrees are prepared for a wide range of business-related career paths. Some are prepared to start their own business, either soon after graduation or at some point in the future. Some are prepared to begin a more traditional leadership path where the self-reliance, initiative, creativity, and communication skills developed in this program are viewed as positive qualities by prospective employers. The major in entrepreneurship provides students with career options not available to those graduating with more traditional business majors.
