*An Innovation and Entrepreneurship major customarily earns a B.S. degree. However, if a student has a first major that is associated with a different baccalaureate degree, the Innovation and Entrepreneurship major may serve as a second major for the degree associated with the first major (B.A., B.FA., B.M., B.S.N).
