Entrepreneurship and Economics

Emily Hartwell

Entrepreneurship and Economics was a way for me to marry my love of business and economics with a socially conscientious tone. This concentration focuses on new businesses and non-profit business models. I wanted to understand how artistic and other idealistic businesses make money when it seems there is no money to make and the different avenues of doing so.

With the knowledge I have gained from my multidisciplinary coursework I can now navigate several fields and business situations; be it working in the development department of a non-profit or helping a for-profit business understand how to make money on a tighter budget. I have the ability to manage and maintain economic assets because of my work and research through BDIC.
