Paul H. Slaugh, Jr. Creative Industries and Entrepreneurship Minor

Millersville University’s interdisciplinary minor in creative industries and entrepreneurship is the only truly interdisciplinary minor of its kind throughout the entire Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. This minor allows students in any major to bring a creative industries and entrepreneurial perspective to their specific area of study. 

The minor in creative industries and entrepreneurship is a dynamic interdisciplinary program that provides opportunities to Millersville students from different disciplines to interact and learn about creative industries and entrepreneurship—the process of creating value through recognizing and developing opportunities. It serves to complement the student’s major area of study by providing the knowledge and skills needed so that students can create or start their own ventures, work for start-up companies, family business, pursue traditional jobs that may involve launching new business units or joint ventures. The goal of the Creative Industries and Entrepreneurial Minor is to learn to think entrepreneurially, identify resources and tools, formulate business plans, and devise clear and compelling value propositions as well as ethical practices.

Creative Industries and Entrepreneurship has a role in every field of study;
therefore, the Creative Industries and Entrepreneurship Minor is for students in any major!
