Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors
Entrepreneurship is designed for any student interested in working on real-world problems with local leaders, businesses, and nonprofits. Based on the Babson College philosophy of entrepreneurship, where students practice play, empathy, creation, experimentation, and reflection, this class is not just for students interested in business. While students learn how to create a business model, they also develop creative thinking, collaboration, and problem solving strategies so they can apply entrepreneurial thinking to multiple contexts. Students work with local businesses, charities, and/or organizations to help research and solve problems, and make recommendations to local leaders on how to solve economic problems in the community. Students also work in teams to develop student-generated business, invention, or nonprofit ideas, with space to seek funding and investment for their ideas. Students work closely with others, are pushed out of their comfort zones, learn how to speak in front of crowds, give and accept constructive criticism, lead, follow, design, make prototypes, fail, and iterate. Students may take this class for CP or honors credit.
