The Entrepreneurial Leadership and Innovation Minor (ELI) is designed for any VSB student seeking to develop knowledge and skillsets in entrepreneurial thinking, innovation, creativity, and design principles.

The program is a mixture of courses and experiential elements designed to provide students with state-of-the-art instruction on these topics, and exposure to practice through a series of hands-on programs from which they choose. All students who wish to develop agility in creative and innovative problem-solving should consider the minor. The minor is particularly suitable for students interested in being an effective agent of change within a corporate or non-profit structure, running a family business, consulting, having a career in creative sectors, or becoming an entrepreneur.

You must complete all degree requirements along with the required ELI elective courses. 

Note: Starting Class of 2025, all VSB minors, including ELI minor, require three unique business courses to complete the minor requirements.
