Entrepreneurship
is a one-trimester survey course created to introduce potential entrepreneurs
to the full process of starting a business. Entrepreneurs are the cornerstone
of the American free enterprise system. This course will expose the students
to the factors that are involved in becoming an entrepreneur—business
terminology, basic entrepreneurship concepts, fundamental
operating principles, ethical issues and e-commerce as they develop their own
business plan. Assessment tools will include case studies, tests and business
plan presentations. Computers will be utilized as a tool in this course to explore
and finalize ideas. Based on the information in this course, students can then
select appropriate avenues for further study or go ahead and "take the
plunge” and start that dreamed of venture.
