Description
Entrepreneurship focuses on providing students with the information and methodologies they need to turn inspiration and dedication into a successful business. In a sense, this is a capstone course in that it draws upon the student's learning from other disciplines and courses. Specifically, the course focuses on methods and examples of how to write a business plan, research a market, keep accounting records and pay taxes, manage finances, lead employees, and be socially responsible. It is a guide to entrepreneurship. The course consists of readings, group activities and discussion, lectures, student presentations, in-depth casework using mostly real-world examples, and guest lecturers. Students are expected to develop at least one personal career option by finding, screening, evaluating, and qualifying a viable venture opportunity.
