The Encompass Distinction is not a major or minor but a unique program that through a combination of courses, hands-on workshops, field trips, public showcases and other experiential opportunities, will move students from understanding basic business concepts to putting those skills to work in the development and understanding of how to manage your own innovative enterprise. Most of the Encompass courses have McDaniel Plan tags, enabling you to weave the program into your general education requirements.
