Tulane offers two majors for those interested in entrepreneurship and innovation:~~~~

'''Business Management- Entrepreneurship Major~~~~'''

*Students choosing the entrepreneurship track will take a course on the management of new ventures that is structured around developing a real new venture plan. Students are presented with the opportunity to apply their knowledge from various business functions (e.g. accounting, finance, marketing, etc.) to conceive and develop a business plan for a new venture.  This course will allow students to experience the entrepreneurial process first hand, learn about traditional and social entrepreneurship business models, and discuss new ventures in different industries.~~~~

'''Social Innovation & Social Entrepreneurship Minor</u~~></span~~>'''

*Building upon Tulane University's strengths in civic engagement and service learning, the interdisciplinary social innovation and social entrepreneurship (SISE) minor will prepare students to use solutions-oriented thinking, integrate theory and practice, generate and support stimulating research across fields, & better understand and create new models of social change. Tulane recognizes that well-informed, motivated, and connected citizens are the real agents that create change, and the time and place to cultivate these changemakers is during their university studies. SISE will enable students to explore how they can be changemakers in whatever career path they choose, be it working for a nonprofit, a corporation, in academia, or starting their own venture.~~~~
