Entrepreneurial Courses

We all strive to prepare students for life after college. Beyond teaching toward learning objectives, faculty instill skills that help students make a real difference in the world. What might start as a reading, a class activity, or final project can grow into a purpose that extends far beyond the course.

Is your course a good fit?

✓  Does it involve project-based or problem-based learning?

✓  Are students addressing problems or needs beyond the classroom?

✓  Can students continue their projects after the course ends?

If you answered yes, your course could be a strong fit, in any discipline.
