JOLIET — The University of St. Francis has announced that its College of Business and Health Administration (COBHA) will launch an undergraduate entrepreneurship program in the fall of 2012. A graduate concentration is planned for 2014. The new program will focus on preparing and assisting individuals who are interested in new business start-up.

According to COBHA Dean Christopher Clott, courses in entrepreneurial process, business research, business plan development and marketing strategy will give students an appreciation and solid underpinning for development of their own entrepreneurial interests. Relevant internships and a potential business incubator for student ventures will round out the major.
