Enactus Project

This course will integrate theory and practice from the fields of Social Entrepreneurship, Intrepreneurship and Project Management. Social Entrepreneurship is a developing field of business in which entrepreneurs are using business methods to help solve social and environmental challenges. The field also includes social intrepreneurship, where existing organizations are developing new income opportunities for their firms by addressing social and environmental challenges. This course will also provide students with an opportunity to learn how to apply project management practices and tools, as part of an entrepreneurial project. Through guest speakers, case discussion, lecture, student research, project planning, and presentations, this course will focus on the intersection of social entrepreneurial idea generation and project implementation. The Socratic style of discussion will be used and a premium will be placed on creative, limit-pushing thought and dialog by students. May be repeated for credit. Graded as credit/no credit.
