Enterprise, Social Entrepreneurship, and the Liberal Arts

In this course we will explore how to translate the skills and knowledge learned in liberal arts courses to the skills and knowledge used in various forms of enterprises. The course will consist of three parts. In the first part we will discuss the role and nature of college education and how it relates, or does not relate, to getting a job. In the second part we will discuss the nature of enterprise, business, and entrepreneurship, considering how social entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship relate. Finally, in the third part students will complete a set of self-directed exercises to gain an overview of the introduction to the specific skills they will need in the future.
