COURSES

Intro to Tech Entrepreneurship 

You don’t need an idea for a company, you don’t need a team - you just need to be interested in using your skills to solve problems with innovative solutions. The class will include guest speakers who will talk about their experiences as entrepreneurs or in a startup, case studies, and workshops. Each session will help students begin to understand how they can identify problems, create solutions, build products and start companies. We will then consider the basic building blocks for starting a company, and lead you to the resources you need should you choose to pursue entrepreneurship. Offered Fall and Spring Semesters.

Women in Entrepreneurship

Creativity and Innovation

Check out the new Creativity & Innovation course (ENTR 4397, section 19987) summer 2020! This class will go over techniques to hone your creative skills and increase creative output. Then, you’ll learn how to use that skill to cultivate greater engagement in your life, spot opportunities, and solve important problems. Finally, we’ll discuss how to continue using creativity and innovation in a business to respond to changing times, technology, and challenges. This is a hybrid class that will “meet” virtually on Mondays and Wednesdays (4pm - 6pm) during the Summer 2 session (June 1 - July 1).⁠⠀
