Entrepreneurship - UC Approved
Entrepreneurship provides students with an understanding of the critical role played by entrepreneurs in the national and global economy. Students learn not only the skills necessary to become entrepreneurs but also the attitudes, characteristics, and techniques found in successful entrepreneurs that students will need to succeed. Building on concepts that were introduced in Principles of Finance, the Entrepreneurship curriculum approaches student learning experientially by encouraging students to evaluate, develop, and work with the business ideas they already have or those they conceive during the course.
Students explore the steps necessary to starting a business, including analyzing the market, finding financing, and creating a form of organization that will accommodate future growth. They learn about the operational issues that new businesses face, such as regulations, protecting intellectual property, and the financial risks of starting a business. Students examine ethical issues and develop a framework for managing them. Finally, students identify the risks, returns, and other aspects of entrepreneurship as a potential career.
Integral to the curriculum is a culminating project that builds on students’ ability to research the market and develop a business plan. Students work in teams of two or three students to conceive of and develop a business idea that fills a need in the market. In the process of completing their project, they create a marketing plan for their business, make financial projections, assess the risks inherent in the new venture, and develop a code of ethics to guide their business actions and relationships. Additionally, students learn about the operational and legal logistics involved in business. Finally, they create a business plan and give an oral presentation in which they pitch their business idea to their classmates and an invited audience representing potential investors.
