The Fox School Information Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship (ITIE) minor integrate two of the most important elements of the Fox school; the enabling role of IT and the drive of entrepreneurial thinking. The minor will allow Fox School majors to combine the above elements by taking relevant courses in Entrepreneurship, Management Information Systems (MIS), and other related areas. The minor is appropriate for all majors but particularly relevant for students in Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Management, and MIS who are interested in applying IT in an entrepreneurial manner. Students who minor in ITIE will be well suited to work for corporations who want to drive new IT enabled innovative projects and for technology enabled start-ups.
The minor is a joint venture between the MIS department and the Strategic Management department.
