Entrepreneurship Major (BBA)
The Bachelor of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship (BBA Entrepreneurship) equips and encourages students to succeed in their entrepreneurial ideas and pursuits. This degree gives students the option to focus on traditional entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, or business as mission. Practically, students are taught to identify where business opportunities exist, develop new ideas, recognize niches within their industries, and create business plans to support their ventures. DBU offers many events for networking, both in the general business world and the entrepreneurship community. Those who graduate from DBU with a BBA Entrepreneurship degree have the freedom and flexibility of working for themselves or an employer in almost any industry, including small business franchising, nonprofit management, general management, and new venture development.

Student Testimonial
Alec McKisic | Entrepreneurship Major
Alec McKisic currently serves as a Digital and Social Content Associate for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"DBU is set apart by how genuine it is about being a Jesus-focused institution. At DBU, I’m learning more about who God is, who I am, and what I’m created to do. Being able to see not just education, but the whole world, through a biblical lens is helping equip me to be a Kingdom leader.
Reid Gregory | Entrepreneurship Major
Reid Gregory currently serves as a Marketing Coordinator for Stories Marketing.
"The entrepreneurship program gave me so many tools to use because it spans marketing, business management, communication, accounting, finance, etc. DBU’s entrepreneurship program also taught me about how we can use our businesses to help our communities and spread the Gospel. In my current position as a marketing coordinator for Stories Marketing, I have been able to put so much of what I have learned into practice. I believe that I have been able to do this because of my education but also because of how the professors really take the time to make sure you fully understand the content of their class."
