Interested in an intensive entrepreneurship class???
ENTR710: Entrepreneurial Business Intensive
If you have a strong passion and desire to develop or launch your own business, consider taking this year-long course. An application is required and you must be selected to participate.
ENTR710: Entrepreneurial Business Intensive
This course is a two-semester, 6-credit intensive designed to provide the student with a business development and potential launch experience. The course integrates content from the ENTR 704-Launching a Business and ENTR 702-New Venture Finance courses into the new business development process. The course is designed to best serve the student with a strong passion and desire to develop his or her own business, but can also accommodate the student who still has a strong desire for the launch experience. This student will either work with another team, an entrepreneur from the community, or with an acquisition project.
One of most attractive features of the course is the opportunity for teams ready to seek financing to present their plan to a Board of Advisors who will then determine if funding is warranted via the Norris Institute. These same board members will serve as team mentors. Additionally, there is a separate resource group, professionals from the community, donating their time with legal, accounting, and public relations advice.
Given the intensive, project-based nature of this course, only serious applicants will be considered in the screening process. The application is due June 15, 2008. You can find the application on the Student Life Blackboard community site under "Courses/Curriculum" and "Highlighted Courses."
If you're accepted to this program, you are also required to also enroll in ENTR 703 Venture Marketing during the Fall semester, or to have already completed that course. This class is not open to students who have completed ENTR 702 or 704.
