SIT’s Minor in Entrepreneurship, or MIE, is a formal academic pathway introduced from AY2026. It complements the SIT Entrepreneurship Education and Development programme, known as SEED, which SIT says launched in AY2025.
The official minors page lists 24 credits for MIE: 18 from its unique modules and six from discipline-specific modules. It also requires a minimum CGPA of 2.00 for the minor’s modules alongside the degree’s graduation requirements.
Students should check their exact degree and cohort against the eligibility table before planning enrolment. A university announcement about entrepreneurship opportunities does not mean every student can select the same modules or fit them into any trimester.

Read the module structure
The three unique modules listed are Foundations of Entrepreneurship, Business Model Innovation and MVP Development for Lean Startups, each worth six credits.
Read the names as a starting map, then consult the actual module instructions. Ask how the timetable, prerequisites and assessment load fit your main degree rather than assuming a module title tells you everything about the work involved.
Separate SEED from the academic minor
SIT’s February 2026 programme announcement describes SEED’s experiential learning, mentorship and industry collaboration, with MIE providing a complementary academic route.
Participation in an activity and completion of a credit-bearing minor are different achievements. Ask what, if anything, a particular workshop or project counts towards before treating attendance as academic credit.
Think beyond starting a company
The announcement explains that the entrepreneurship approach also concerns solving problems within organisations. Starting a business is one possible application, not the only reason to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.
For example, a student might be interested in testing whether a proposed service solves a real user problem. That is a useful question to bring to an adviser; it does not require making a premature decision to become a founder.
Check the degree and workload fit
Ask your academic team which discipline-specific module applies, how enrolment works and when to make the choice. Keep the response with your programme plan so you can review the workload across the full degree.
