About this course

Understanding Entrepreneurship for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Entrepreneurship?

Entrepreneurship is the study of how new business ideas are identified, shaped, and turned into workable ventures. It covers the mindset and practical steps involved in starting and growing a business, including market research, planning, financing, ethics, and communicating an idea clearly.

How the course teaches you

Entrepreneurship (Business 310) is a 3-credit self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so students should expect steady work through the term rather than one final assessment only. When the course is completed, the transcript can be sent to CrestPoint University, where it is recognized as BUS-401 – Small Business Management under the signed articulation agreement.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical skills in planning, market analysis, financing, ethics, and clear communication, which are useful in many work settings beyond starting a business. At CrestPoint, the credit applies as BUS-401 – Small Business Management, so it can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration. That makes the course relevant for students who want business knowledge they can use in a degree plan and in everyday decision-making.
