Entre-vation: a hands-on approach to entrepreneurship and innovation provides a unique opportunity for business students to learn about entrepreneurship and innovation from some of the area’s leading entrepreneurs and innovators. Students will learn about the topics of entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as creativity, thinking “out of the box,” risk taking, venture capital, and social responsibility through an innovative approach to education. Students will travel to five area businesses to hear the stories behind the owners or innovative thinkers within the organization, as well as tour the facilities. Students will work in teams to create and develop innovative solutions to real-life cases entailing problems or challenges within these organizations and/or industries. At the end of the course, teams will present their ideas to local entrepreneurs for debate and discussion. In addition to site visits, the class will consist of experiential learning exercises, traditional class lecture, as well as use of The Wall Street Journal. Students seeking a hands-on, experiential class in which they will be challenged and exposed to real-life situations are welcome to register for this course.
