ENTR 301 - Social Entrepreneurship

(3)

Social entrepreneurship is about bringing constructive changes to social and environmental problem areas. Social entrepreneurs develop social enterprises, organizations that marshal resources and people to make changes that set the world on a more positive course. These can be either for-profit or not-for-profit organizations, but their primary missions are to address social or environmental needs in powerful and sustainable ways. Students build on ideas and tools learned in ENTR 201 and other curricular and co-curricular (e.g., pitch competitions) work to develop business model solutions that meet customer needs, address specific social or environmental issues, and follow an asset-based approach to development. Prerequisites: at least 15 credits in the entrepreneurship minor, including ENTR 201. Not offered 2019-2020.
