Management (MSM) – Entrepreneurship

This track has suspended admission.

The Entrepreneurship Track in the Professional Master of Science in Management program is designed for students, working professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs who are interested in developing and implementing new programs, projects, or ventures within their organizations and industries. The program is organized to mirror the phases of startup processes – discovery, planning, and implementation – so that students can work on developing their own startup venture proposals while earning a valuable graduate degree.

This program is a professional program with a market rate tuition and is considered a part-time program. The tuition is the same for Florida residents and non-residents. Please visit www.business.ucf.edu/graduate-programs for more information.
