Simply put, entrepreneurship involves identifying a business opportunity, gathering and organizing the resources needed to utilize that opportunity, and finally taking responsibility for the success of the newly created business. The rural entrepreneurship option plan of study integrates the technical skills required of involvement in the rural business industry with application-based experience provided by the program's capstone courses. More specifically, students who pursue the rural entrepreneurship option will develop a strong background in the following fields; economics, accounting, management, finance, and policy. With the aid of faculty and staff advisors, students in the rural entrepreneurship option design their plan of study reflecting their particular future goals. During the final year of this option, each student will incorporate the interdisciplinary background gained in the previous years of study into the development of a rural business plan for a business of his/her choice. In choosing their business, students will explore potential entrepreneurial enterprises, which may include family farms, rural medical practices, and even sporting goods companies. Students conclude their experience of developing a rural business plan through direct interaction with industry professionals who assess and make suggestions as to the successful implementation of the plan.
