Why choose Entrepreneurship and Innovation?

Entrepreneurs ask questions such as: Is there a market need for this service? How should I acquire and retain customers? Does staffing fit the current state of my business?

Entrepreneurship and innovation focuses on the start up and operation of high potential businesses. The key to any successful venture is being prepared, doing your research, and building your knowledge and connections related to your business venture. You'll complete formal presentations, group projects and various case studies during your degree.

Career opportunities

As a graduate of the Bachelor of Commerce degree with a concentration in entrepreneurship and innovation, you'll be prepared for global career opportunities in the areas of management, consulting, business development, and more. A degree in commerce can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or another professional degree such as law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or education.

Detailed course information


​As an entrepreneurship and innovation student at the Haskayne School of Business, I was exposed to the full range of business disciplines which gave me a solid foundation in business operations. The experience I received leading the Solar Car project was invaluable for helping me understand the collaboration between different fields of expertise. Working in this cross-disciplinary environment gave me the skills to really succeed in building my current IT business. I now have the confidence to sell our services to a range of industries, and deliver on our promises in a successful manner.
