Mission Statement

The Entrepreneurship program at HCC holds the highest regards for creativity, progressive thinking, and new venture growth. We seek to provide our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop their ideas into successful ventures regionally, nationally, and internationally. Our goal is to produce students with the capabilities to produce effective business plans, understand the fundamentals and challenges of starting a business, and the requirements for continued growth and success. We strive to make our program a postsecondary education of quality and practicality, while preparing students for the Bachelor of Entrepreneurship at Western Carolina University or immediate entry into the workforce.
