This is an intro-level crash course in social entrepreneurship. We'll start by defining social entrepreneurship, then we'll explore the tactics and tendencies of successful social entrepreneurs. We will partially incubate a real social enterprise, so we can "learn by doing." Each session will be a combination of lecture, group work/discussion, and in-class presentations.
This course will be useful for students who want to think critically about how social change happens, launch their own projects or ventures, innovate solutions to social and environmental problems, hone their activism, and/or build practical skills. Although it is introductory level, it will be useful for students already involved with social impact organizations or entrepreneurial enterprises. |
