Entrepreneurship for Every Major
Entrepreneurship at Trinity connects liberal arts thinking with real-world problem solving. Students from various academic disciplines learn how to think creatively, communicate effectively, and develop ideas that matter.
Students can take classes in entrepreneurship or even choose to minor in it, to:
- Build practical leadership and communication skills
- Learn how to develop and test new ideas
- Work across disciplines and perspectives
- Gain experience through real-world projects
- Connect classroom learning to meaningful impact
- Express and pitch ideas clearly and confidently
Instead of just filling an internship role, I got to start something of my own. You get paid by Trinity to launch and run a company—that’s a unique opportunity most schools don’t offer.
