World Class curriculum
If you're itching to launch a business soon... Schools such as Babson College, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Arizona are among the best–known. –BusinessWeek |
The most unique aspect of our program is the holistic approach we have to teaching. Our curriculum covers all aspects of business critical to an entrepreneur, such as accounting, finance, law, management, leadership, sales and marketing. Additionally, because many new ventures include, and are often started by non–business people, we create a collaborative classroom. It is our belief that bringing students together is the best approach to teaching entrepreneurship. Business students majoring in entrepreneurship take classes with zoology, engineering and architecture students who minor in entrepreneurship. We do not support mini-entrepreneurship programs all across the campus. Rather, our program serves as a beacon for all students who someday hope to start, run, and grow their own businesses to come together in one classroom. Students bring different talents to the entrepreneurial table.
Students learn how to identify opportunities, make a plan, launch a venture, grow a business and harvest. Students learn how to use framework tools to measure the people, opportunity, deal and systems of a new venture. Students learn to buy low, sell high, collect early, pay late and never ever run out of cash. Students learn that smart money is better than dumb money. Students learn how to balance the customers' desire to customize and the manufactures' desire to standardize. Students learn the process of sourcing manufactures and when to use a direct sales force or a manufactures representative. Most importantly, students learn how to be a good person and how to live a life of meaning.
