Eldon and Regina Roth
Center for Entrepreneurship
The
Small Business Lab serves as an incubator for student entrepreneurs
and as a laboratory for Accounting, Business Administration, Human
Resource Management and Management Information System majors. Student
entrepreneurs learn how to write business plans in a Seminar in Entrepreneurship
and viable plans are selected to operate in the Small Business Lab.
Other students in the business department use the student businesses
as a basis for class projects in the place of textbook assignments.
The focus of the program is also expanded to include other majors.
Students from departments other than business can also become tenants
of the Lab as well as provide consulting services.
The
lab provides for two student businesses and they are given professional
office space on campus, business equipment (computers, printer, fax,
and photocopier), seed money (a $3,000 loan for each business), and
resources (library books, videos, faculty support, and student consulting).
