Simmons is a leading institution in the study and teaching of issues related to ethnic and racial diversity. As a student, you will explore the particular issues women face as they build a business and negotiate for organizational success. With the number of women-owned companies growing at a rapid pace, there is no better place for venturing women to prepare than at Simmons School of Management.
Entrepreneurship coursework is available to business and non-business undergraduate students at Simmons College. Our recent courses included student representation from the following majors: management, communications, physical therapy, art therapy, history, retail management, and English literature.
Retail Entrepreneurship at Simmons College is the nation’s first program for undergraduates aimed at founding, owning, and managing innovative businesses in the retail sector. To prepare to own and manage in retail, students learn buying and vendor relationships, human resources, information technology strategies, security and loss prevention, and managerial innovations that have transformed consumer sales. Innovation concerns strategic structuring (mega-stores, chain stores, boutiques) delivery options (web, catalog, brick-and-mortar) and the opportunities provided by globalization on both the sourcing and sales.
