Your Path to a Business Degree Starts Here

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Business and Entrepreneurship at Lake Washington Institute of Technology is built for people who want to do business, not just study it. In six quarters, you'll learn how to launch a venture, lead a team, manage money, and compete in a real marketplace.

Here's a look at what you'll be learning:

Launch Your Idea

In Entrepreneurial Start-Up Strategy, you'll build a real business model from scratch. No theory exercises. You'll pressure-test your own idea against the market and walk out with a plan you can actually use.

Lead With Confidence

Principles of Management and Introduction to Entrepreneurial Action and Leadership teach you how real organizations work and how to move people toward a goal. These are more than soft skills. They're the survival skills you need to succeed in any role, at any stage of your career.

Understand Money

Finance Principles and Principles of Accounting give you the numbers literacy every business owner and manager needs. Read a balance sheet. Make a budget. Know where the money goes.

Build Products People Want

Creative Product Development is where ideas meet execution. You'll learn how to design, test, and refine offerings that solve real problems for real customers.

Stay Ahead of the Curve

AI for Business prepares you to use artificial intelligence as a practical tool in the workplace. Not a buzzword. A competitive advantage.

Finish Strong

The program wraps with Capstone (Business Plan), where you bring everything together into a complete, actionable business strategy. Whether you're launching your own venture or stepping into a leadership role, you'll graduate with a real plan you can put to work on day one.
