Why Vermont State University entrepreneurship students are a strong fit
Direct answer: The Business Administration A.S. develops business fundamentals through applied projects, while VtSBDC provides startup and student-entrepreneurship advising from its Randolph base and statewide network.
Current Vermont State materials publish the Business Administration A.S. at Castleton, Johnson, Lyndon and Randolph plus online availability. The university also houses VtSBDC, including dedicated startup and student-entrepreneurship support. This page does not claim a separate two-year entrepreneurship credential.
Personal opportunity analysis
What could you do with your entrepreneurship training?
Direct answer: Students can compare trades, food/agriculture, tourism, professional services, rural service, consulting and online ventures.
Use VtSBDC with a defined uncertainty
Direct answer: The main question may be demand, pricing, finance, operations or growth.
Consider transfer only when it supports the goal
