Prospective Students

Why study Entrepreneurship?

CSUF Entrepreneurship has helped thousands of students learn the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and it's students work on multiple semester-long projects with their peers and mentors from the private sector. Our program is unique in its scope and design and provides students with the foundation they need to become entrepreneurs.

Why should I study Entrepreneurship at Cal State Fullerton?

An entrepreneurial education at Cal State Fullerton is unlike any other. It combines cutting edge academics, intensive consul ting projects with real businesses, and the development of startups conceived by the students themselves. This program bridges the gap between the classroom and the real world like no other.   

If you ask any current CSUF Entrepreneurship student, they will tell you that this is a very challenging concentration, and they are right about that. The CSUF Entrepreneurship concentration requires students to go above and beyond what is expected from normal classes with exams and research papers.  

However, once CSUF Entrepreneurship students graduate their story changes and they extol its virtues. All that hard work, late nights, extended group meetings, and client engagements has prepared them to be leaders in the workforce whether they end up launching a business straight out of school or go to work with someone else.   

The hard work pays off. Are you up for the challenge?     

What are classes like in the CSUF Entrepreneurship concentration?

Cal State Fullerton takes entrepreneurial education and supercharges it. Each entrepreneurship undergraduate takes four consulting classes that pairs student teams with real businesses. MBA candidates take up to three consulting classes. By the end of the semester, each team creates an extensive strategic report detailing how to improve the client’s business. Cal State Fullerton has been running this program for decades now and is the highlight of many of its alumni’s educational experience because the Student Consulting Program bridges the gap between the academic world and the real one.

Entrepreneurship Majors, Minors and MBA candidates concentrating in Entrepreneurship also join a two semester long New Venture Program. In the first semester, student teams develop a business plan for a new venture and by the second semester these teams launch their ventures. While not every team is successful, Cal State Fullerton believes that the best way to educate entrepreneurs is through actual implementation.  

Throughout a Cal State Fullerton Entrepreneurship student’s educational journey, they are taught by a combination of academics and professionals. This exposure to both sides of the entrepreneurial world avails its students of the opportunity to learn the latest entrepreneurial techniques and to get battle tested lessons from people who are entrepreneurs. Furthermore, each student team is assigned a mentor who has an extensive background as either an entrepreneur or in an entrepreneurial organization. This combination of knowledge available to Cal State Fullerton Entrepreneurship students is rarely matched at other universities.
