An innovative curriculum...
What do you learn in a college entrepreneurship program? Along with the courses you’ll take in the Business Administration major, the entrepreneurship concentration includes classes in:
- — Examine topics related to developing successful business ideas and creating, managing, and growing an entrepreneurial firm.
- — Learn how to develop new products and services and manage the innovation process.
- — An in-depth examination of entrepreneurship topics including starting new businesses, financing strategies, supply chain and inventory management, and staffing challenges.
- — Focus on the financial challenges that entrepreneurs face, such as raising startup funds, customer acquisition costs, cash and receivables management, and liability issues.
A Marist education is fuel for Loik's global mission.
Inspired to build businesses and relationships, Loik was born in Belgium, raised in Rwanda, graduated high school in Buffalo, NY. Loik’s global upbringing drew him to Marist and sparked aspirations to pursue entrepreneurship as a path to uplift communities back home. He’s a natural connector who bridges relationships through clubs, sports, and creative pursuits like poetry. Loik proves that impact comes in more than one form.
