JMC Expectations
As a new member of the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship, there are some things that we expect from you as a student representative of our college. It is of the utmost importance that you act as a positive representation of what a Jim Moran College student looks like. Reputation and first impressions speak volumes and can follow you around for years to come, even after you have graduated from FSU!
Attendance
All FSU students are required to attend the first day of class (whether it is in person, online, FLEX, etc.) or else they will be dropped and will not be guaranteed the opportunity to add the class back.
As a JMC student, we expect all students to attend every class and scheduled meeting on time. By registering for a course or scheduling an advising meeting, etc. you have made a commitment to show up.
Not only is this an essential life “skill”, but attendance within this major is essential to your academic success. Most classes are hands-on, discussion-based, or experiential, which means it is very difficult to make up a missed class.
It is essential that you get in the habit of checking your FSU email at least once a day.
This is the primary way instructors and advisors will communicate with you regarding important information.
All communication you receive from us is important. Please be sure to fully read each email you receive.
Timely communication from both sides will ensure that you remain on track and in good standing within this program.
All JMC students should treat others with respect and act professionally on and off campus.
You represent not only yourself but the JMC. This program relies heavily on class discussion and peer mentorship, which is only beneficial if students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas.
All JMC students are expected to be ethical and act with integrity.
Stealing business ideas, cheating, lying, plagiarizing, etc. will not be tolerated.
Our faculty and staff are made up of intelligent and experienced individuals. Do not convince yourself you can get away with it, they’ve seen and heard it all.
Participation & Involvement
To get the most out of this program and your FSU experience, you must not only do well within the classroom, but also be active outside of the classroom. While the JMC offers numerous student organizations, competitions, events, grants, etc., getting involved with any activities at FSU will enhance your experience and resume.
Advising
Advising
Student must use their FSU ID to check in on the computer next to the desk and then have a seat in the lobby. Once you sign in the appropriate advisor will receive a notification and come get you from the lobby.
If the computer is inoperable, please take a seat and our receptionist at the front desk will let the appropriate advisor know that they have a student in the lobby for walk-in advising.
If no one is at front desk, student may go to the advisors office to let them know they are here.
The preferred method of contact for ALL advisors is email. Advising is located in the Roderick Shaw Building at 644 West Call St.

Mapping
Mapping is a term-by-term course schedule that is designed to keep you on track to graduate in two years.
The schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. Milestones are courses required for your timely progress to complete a major.
Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops:
The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major.
If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student’s registration.
These holds will stop you from Registering for your next semester courses.

Summer
Major Coursework
The JMC does not guarantee any courses to be offered over the summer semesters. Typically, courses offered through JMC over the summer are online electives only.
Jim Moran College Internships
Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship has an internship requirement for all entrepreneurship majors. This internship may be the first introduction to the career field that a student is studying in.
The internship experience is coordinated by faculty, Roxanne Parker (Retail) and Britain Dwyre Riley (Commercial, STEM & Graduate Students).
The college has had a 100% placement rate over the years, with many interns accepting positions as a result of their internship placement, or with the offer of their internship position. The opportunities are endless to prepare for a successful career, and students are encouraged to pursue opportunities in both corporate and entrepreneurial settings.
Jim Moran College Internships
While we appreciate the work that students are doing building their own business ventures, we require that all JMC students conduct their internship at an approved organization where they do not have a management or leadership role and/or direct family connection. We find internships at other companies provide learning opportunities the students would not have, which in turn strengthens their businesses.
Internships are a minimum of 8 weeks and 240 hours
JMC will be requiring students to take the ENT 3941 internship preparation class. In this class, students will learn about the internship application process and internship guidelines. This course must be completed before you are eligible for a summer, fall, or spring internship
Jim Moran College Internships
Internships are carefully structured to ensure a meaningful experience and are also faculty- supervised. For internships to count toward your required coursework, students must complete the internship agreement form and gain approval prior to the start of their internship.
Once approved, students will enroll in ENT 4943: Entrepreneurship Internship class for 3 credit hours. The class is structured, and assignments are due throughout the internship, to be submitted via Canvas.
It is the responsibility of the intern to partner with their assigned internship mentor at the company to develop a structure for their time interning with the company.
JMC Abroad
Students have the opportunity to study abroad during the summer as a JMC student. They will discover the influence of heritage and innovation on entrepreneurship, fashion, health, and wellness.
From its awe-inspiring architecture to its historic contributions to international art, design, and fashion, Florence provides the ideal living-learning experience. Students will discover the influence of heritage and innovation on entrepreneurship, fashion, health, and wellness.
Students will have full participation in Florence Broad Curriculum’s social/cultural calendar, a multi-course welcome and farewell dinner, tours of the Costume Gallery & Boboli Gardens at Pitti Palace, a tour of Gucci Museum, a trip to Prato touring textile and apparel companies specializing in innovative research and ecofriendly products, trip to Pienza, local vintage shops, markets, cooking class with a focus on sustainability and wellness, and more.
Who: Undergraduates and Graduates
Where: Florence, Italy
When: 5-Week Summer Program and more. international.fsu.edu/Program/Italy/Textiles.aspx
JMC Abroad
Italy continues to be one of the healthiest countries in the world.
Students will explore the importance of environmental protection and social responsibility in developing products for global markets. Fast fashion, driven by globalization, has negatively impacted our environment.
Students will explore new and positive ways the fashion industry can contribute to our wellbeing through sustainable, ethical, intelligent, healing, and inclusive clothing. Trips to Prato and around Florence provide exposure to different Italian entrepreneurial landscapes.

Honors in the Major
Honors In The Major
The Honors in the Major (HITM) Program is intended to encourage talented juniors and seniors to undertake significant independent and original scholarship as part of the undergraduate experience in a framework similar to that of a thesisbased master's degree program.
One central objective of the program is to position students for post-graduation
Why do Honors In The Major?
Researching an honors thesis will give you a chance to work on a passion project of your choice under the mentorship of a faculty member from your major.
The thesis will give you a unique chance to integrate and synthesize what you have learned in your major to produce an original work.
The thesis experience will elevate your critical thinking, writing, and problem-solving skills while developing your subject area expertise.
All of this will give you a distinct way to talk with potential graduate schools, professional schools, or employers about what you bring to the table - and why they should choose you.
Student Eligibility
Any current undergraduate student at Florida State University is eligible to apply to the HITM Program, regardless of whether they are a member of the University Honors Program.
Students admitted to the HITM Program complete an original thesis project appropriate for their major over two to three semesters while registered for honors thesis credit hours. The student recruits a faculty member from their major to serve as their thesis director, and recruits two to three additional faculty members to serve on a supervisory committee. The thesis culminates in an oral defense before the committee.
Application eligibility criteria include:
Officially accepted to the major Minimum 3.200 GPA (FSU and Cumulative)
At least 60 credit hours completed by the end of the semester of application
At least 12 FSU credit hours completed by the end of the semester of application
At least two semesters remaining until graduation
Any interested students should contact Sri for more information and/or questions JMC Liaison for Honors In The Major Assistant Professor and Faculty Affiliate at Florida State University Family Institute
Combined Pathways
The combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Pathways Program provides academically talented students an opportunity to complete a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree. These partially structured pathways allow for up to 12 graduate credit hours to be shared with, or double-counted toward, an undergraduate degree program, as long as that double-counting is considered appropriate by the faculty curriculum committees and academic administrators over the program.
Undergraduate students certified into either the Jim Moran College or Dedman College with at least 60 credit hours completed and 12 credit hours completed in their degree program
Minimum overall GPA of 3.2
Minimum Major GPA of 3.5
