HAMPTON UNIVERSITY'S COMMITMENT to the entrepreneurial spirit is evidenced by a program of study and experimental learning opportunities leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Entrepreneurship. In this regard, Hampton stands among an elite set of colleges and universities in the nation. The University endeavors to produce leaders who will act as catalysts for economic development and serve as models of effective entrepreneurship. Furthermore, our changing business environment creates opportunities and the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies (CES) is designed to help students recognize and take advantage of these opportunities.

Hampton's Business Degree in Entrepreneurship offers an internship program which gives students substantial experimental learning opportunities.

The program is designed to accommodate a variety of backgrounds and interests. We seek to attract students who are high achievers, self-confident, creative, persevering and have a strong work ethic. Through the internship in the Entrepreneurship Program, Small Business Consulting course, and the Hampton University Business Incubator, students are provided with opportunities to develop hands-on experience and work with practicing entrepreneurs during the program of study. Faculty complement each aspect of the learning experience with their combination of academic knowledge and practical experience. As a result, graduates are prepared for leadership in family-owned businesses, new business ventures, working in high growth industries, and graduate school.
