INTRODUCTION
Entrepreneurship is a process through which individuals and groups pursue an opportunity, leverage resources, and initiate change to create value. Thus, an entrepreneur is one who makes value by managing change, identifying and pursuing opportunities, acting with passion and purpose, living proactively, and organizing and leveraging resources.
Entrepreneurial spirit is the backbone of any economy. The stronger the entrepreneurial spirit the more vibrant the economy. Statistics show that the largest number of enrollees and graduates in higher education institutions (HEIs) are in business and management education. It will benefit the country if a larger percentage of these enrollees pursue studies in entrepreneurship and eventually start their own businesses.
Entrepreneurship requires proper orientation and motivation. Attitudes and values need to be developed. There is a need to provide formal education and training for entrepreneurship.
The BS Entrepreneurship program will provide this education and training.
