Undergraduate Step Three: Learning From Entrepreneurs
The entrepreneurship curriculum forces undergraduates to evaluate a situation, make a decision and defend it to the rest of the class - Lane Neal BBA '03 |
Entrepreneurs in the classroom make us unique. We have the perfect balance of theory based curriculum with practitioner experience. Anyone can come in and tell a war story, but, that is not enough. Our entrepreneurs integrate their experience with a rigorous case-based curriculum. We match their experience with a course and case selection that provides the students with an ideal learning experience.
Our adjunct faculty commit to over 200 hours of preparation to teach a single class. Adjunct faculty members have attended teacher training sessions with Babson, Acton and Ivey. The most significant aspect regarding our use of the Socratic teaching method and the use of Harvard Business School cases is our use of successful entrepreneurs to deliver the curriculum.
Our case discussions are so real they'll make you sweat. During our program, we will put students in the shoes of a real entrepreneur in over 150 challenging case dilemmas. Whether they want to start a company, buy a business or work their way to the top, our acclaimed curriculum delivers the tools, skills and judgment they need to run a real business.
We are the only program in the country to offer an undergraduate course in entrepreneurial law. We also offer entrepreneurial case courses in: Entrepreneurial Process, New Venture Market Development, Financial Life-Cycle of the Entrepreneurial Venture, Launching the Entrepreneurial Venture, Growth Strategies for Small and Family Businesses, Introduction to Entrepreneurship, CCEW and Field Studies.
