Sociology S/OS (10 courses)
Both tracks provide a solid foundation in sociological theory and methods, coupled with a focused expertise in sociological research on work, management, leadership, and entrepreneurship, spanning the business, non-profit, and government sectors.

Entrepreneurship and Technology Management Studies Track
BEO ETCM*
5 technical subspecialties (16 courses)
As with all BEO tracks, Entrepreneurship and Technology Management Track (ETCM) is built upon a curricula in economic and organizational theories and practices. This technology-based track requires a higher level of mathematics and the BEO Foundation courses along with a five-course specialization in one of the five engineering areas.
The closest pre-approved curricular pathway to teh BEO ETCM track would be an AB in Engineering.
* After 2023 the BEO Concentration will no longer be offered.
CERTIFICATE IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The Entrepreneurship Certificate
The goal of the certificate program is to equip students with an understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the entrepreneurial process. These building blocks are:
- Understanding and validating an unmet need.
- Developing a value proposition that addresses an unmet need.
- Designing a sustainability model that allows the value proposition to be delivered repeatedly at scale.
To earn the certificate in entrepreneurship, a student must complete a five course sequence including:
- Two Core Courses (ENGN 0090 and ENGN 1010)
- Two Elective Courses
- One Practicum Experiential Course (ENGN 1931T)
The senior year BEO Capstone is designed to bring the concepts of quantiative and qualitative theory into applied practice. BEO students work in small peer groups on projects for sponsoring organizations that target real world problems. Sponsoring organizations range from small start-ups, governmental agencies, social or educational institutions, to corporations and NGOs.
