Create, Innovate, and Launch with the Entrepreneurship Minor

Are you ready to turn ideas into action?

The Entrepreneurship Minor equips students with the skills to recognize opportunities, build innovative solutions, and transform ideas into real-world impact. Grounded in Georgia Tech’s CREATE-X ecosystem, this minor prepares students to think creatively, collaborate effectively, and lead with purpose.

Why Choose This Minor?

  • Learn the Entrepreneurial Process: Develop core skills in creativity, teamwork, customer discovery, prototyping, and fundraising through hands-on, project-based learning.
  • Build and Test Real Ideas: Through CREATE-X Ideas to Prototype (I2P) program, students can advance their ideas for a potential value creating product by performing basic research, analysis, building, and testing — leading to a proof of concept prototype. 
  • Innovate Through Collaboration: Engage with Georgia Tech’s innovation community and work across disciplines to bring new solutions to life.

Open to All Majors

The Entrepreneurship Minor consists of 15 credit hours and supports Georgia Tech’s commitment to innovation and collaboration.

Due to course requirements, this minor may not be suitable for students with senior classification. For guidance, schedule an appointment with a Scheller advisor.
