Entrepreneurship is about taking chances to turn ideas into real projects, products, or cool new solutions that actually make a difference.
It’s all about being creative, curious, and okay with a little risk. As an Arts student, you bring a diverse perspective and an interdisciplinary way of thinking that sets you up with a solid foundation to make real change. Entrepreneurship teaches you how to take initiative and solve problems, skills that come in handy no matter where your journey leads.
