Social Enterprise Experiential Learning

This course brings together the knowledge, skills, and practices students develop in the first three courses in the Social Enterprise, Innovation and Entrepreneurship concentration. Students will apply social enterprise strategies and tools to a nonprofit or for-profit social enterprise as a part of their experiential learning. Students will work with an experienced faculty instructor and social enterprise organization partner who will guide the application of social enterprise tools and strategies in the research, design thinking, process applications, problem-solving, and/or metric development needed to support a successful social enterprise. Students will be empowered to offer ideas, analyze data, research markets, and make decisions that will support the venture's development process within the organization. Students will prepare final projects based on their experience. This course should be taken as one of the last social enterprise classes.
