MHCC Faculty Advisor - Contact the Business Department: 503-491-7515

Preparing you to start and successfully operate your own small business is the emphasis of the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management Program. This program encompasses all aspects of starting a business from initial evaluation of an opportunity and forming the structure of the business to operational management. Essential elements covered in this course include:

• Risks involved in starting a business
• Valuing an existing business
• Fundamentals of franchising
• Effective small business operating methods
• Cash flow analysis

Ready and anxious to launch your business? A one-year certificate program is available for students who already have a marketable skill or product ready for market. All of the courses in the one-year certificate program are required in the two-year degree program. Therefore, it is easy for a student who gets a one-year certificate to decide to go on for a two-year degree. Please refer to Business Management: Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management.

1 Students may not use demonstrated proficiency on the College Placement Test (CPT) to satisfy this requirement.
