ENTR 432 - Social Entrepreneurship 3 Credit Hours
Social entrepreneurship is an exciting and rapidly growing field that combines the traditional strengths of business organizations with the social ideas and mission orientation of the not-for-profit world in order to solve current issues of our society. Social entrepreneurs may establish new organizations to take on social challenges. Alternatively, they may desire to use their entrepreneurial skills to shape the operations of large corporations that desire to make social impacts. Social entrepreneurs bring passion to their efforts to make a constructive difference to their communities. Students will learn basic business formation essentials but with a focus on identifying social issues where business can have a beneficial impact. Course format includes: 1) reading about social enterprise examples, 2) practicing the unique skills required to be a social entrepreneur, and 3) hearing directly from social entrepreneurs from the Chicago area. This course will be attractive to students who are interested in developing their own social enterprises or otherwise making a social impact through their career choice, whether or not they are business majors.
