Course Description

Social entrepreneurship is a rapidly developing field of business in which entrepreneurs use business methods to help solve social and environmental challenges otherwise ignored or missed by commerce and addressed predominantly with often unsustainable donor-driven models by the nonprofit sector. This field includes “social entrepreneurship,” where employees in existing companies develop new income opportunities for their firms by addressing social and environmental challenges in a profitable, scalable manner. Students will learn what a social enterprise is and how it is the same as well as different from other types of businesses. Students will be expected to develop a business plan summary and investment ‘pitch’ to scale a social enterprise. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
