Curriculum
Venturing Out as an Entrepreneur?
In 1982, Macalester College launched a program in entrepreneurial
studies. The program assists students in thinking as entrepreneurs
and provides guidance on how to carry an idea from conception to
completion.
Once a year we offer a course entitled Entrepreneurship: New Ventures
(ECON 458). Its focus is on new business start-ups. Often we offer
a topics course in entrepreneurship. Among the topics offered in
the past were Entrepreneurship and Non-Profit Organizations (strategies,
including grant proposals), The Entrepreneur (history and personalities
of the people behind the ventures), and Failure (study of failed
businesses).
