B.S Information Technology Entrepreneurship

The B.S. Information Technology Entrepreneurship program is designed to create a structured and vibrant environment for young, aspiring entrepreneurs who are bold enough to set up their own information technology company. The program has a strong enough information technology base to enable students to appreciate what is possible with current technology and to come up and develop working prototypes of new product ideas. It also has an overlay of business courses that will give students an appreciation of the challenges of business, and an eye to spot market opportunities, so that the products they come up with are not just technically feasible, but economically feasible and commercially viable as well. Integrated into the program is a set of entrepreneurship courses that will guide the students as they turn their business plans into businesses with going concerns.

ITE JGSOM

The world of technology, especially information and communications technology (ICT), is inducing sweeping changes in the way people live, work, communicate, and entertain themselves. These changes create exciting new opportunities for aspiring young entrepreneurs.
 
The B.S. in Information Technology Entrepreneurship, or the I.T.E. program, is designed to create a structured and yet vibrant environment for students to become the next generation of high-impact entrepreneurs, turning their I.T. based business ideas into actual start-up ventures. Who knows, your idea could become the Google or the Facebook success story of your generation!
 
The program curriculum begins with a strong foundation in I.T. fundamentals that will enable you to turn your I.T.-based product idea into a working prototype, and adds to this an overlay of management courses and a business incubation program that will help you to bring your product to market. Students who successfully complete the program will not be looking for new jobs when they graduate: they will be offering jobs to other young graduates looking to become part of the next-generation business success story!
