Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is an interdisciplinary course designed to teach students how to think and act entrepreneurially. Students learn how to start-up and operate a business while in school, thus turning their learning into earning. The course will build on cross-curricular academic skills, by integrating inquiry-based learning and business tools that will enable students to analyze, create, develop and pilot small businesses in a safe campus environment. Those who manage and operate a small business will bring their products directly to the consumer via the local marketplace or present venture to potential investors for financing. Concepts and skills are reinforced by a strong emphasis on hands-on experiences. Applications to society, individuals, and the utilization of technology are included. The context of this course is in conjunction with the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, (NFTE).
