Master of Science in Management and Entrepreneurship
The Houston Baptist University Master of Science in Management and Entrepreneurship program joins business theories with modern strategies for developing, designing, and carrying out new ventures. It assists with the incubation of products, services, businesses, and ministries through educating and assisting potential entrepreneurs with discerning their purpose and passion. This degree combines the prestigious Archie W. Dunham College of Business with the innovative HBU McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise. Students study all facets of business, ranging from startup to stewardship, in the one-year program. The degree is specifically designed for those that did not major in business at the undergraduate level; consequently, no business leveling courses are required. The Master of Science in Management and Entrepreneurship (MSME) degree is ideal for those who wish to take their business and entrepreneurial skills to the highest level. Learners gain strategies for their business ventures. “My parents were big on education, but they passed away when I was a teenager. I completed my education, being the first one in my family to do so, but didn’t have access to down-to-earth, practical advice. I wanted to start a college readiness program to help kids like me. The McNair Entrepreneurship Center has nurtured my aspirations from day one. The MSME degree at HBU is an invaluable resource to learn the skills needed to launch your own venture.” An entrepreneur is simply someone who takes ownership of his or her work and is ready to bring innovative ideas to market. Whether developing one’s own venture or working for a large corporation, the entrepreneurial mindset is a valuable framework for action. In HBU’s program, students learn from accomplished professors in the field. Bold ventures are developed through purpose and passion with leading strategies from theory and practice. Like the rest of the University, the HBU MSME program espouses the importance of Christian ethics and strong moral leadership. The MSME is offered lockstep over the course of one calendar year. New student cohorts begin in the fall. A total of 33 credit hours are taken across 11 courses spread over Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. The HBU Archie W. Dunham College of Business provides an intimate and supportive learning environment. One of the most rewarding aspects of participation for students is the relationships they form in their cohort. The program is designed to be experiential and to focus much like a startup incubator with a focus on new ventures that contribute to a flourishing society. Students may come in with, or purposefully discover, an idea for a product, service, business, nonprofit, or ministry. They then develop and follow their passion, often with the help of strategic business partnerships in the Houston area and beyond. The HBU campus is conveniently located in the City of Houston, with easy access to travel hubs and lodging. *2018 U.S. News & World Report Regional Universities West For more than 50 years, Houston Baptist University has served the Houston area and beyond by offering a world-class education through many academic programs.
