Currently there are over 150 undergraduate students who have declared the ENTR Minor, from at least 24 different departments at UMBC. Undergraduate students from all colleges at UMBC are encouraged to inquire and declare the ENTR Minor as many of the electives in the ENTR Minor are offered by several departments and students may have already successfully completed some of the course requirements of the ENTR Minor.
