This course surveys the current and historical landscape of social entrepreneurship and analyzes innovative, market-oriented approaches that address the world’s most challenging social issues. Students will engage with tools for personal reflection and assessment, and develop a vision for how their unique backgrounds, experiences, and talents can intersect with global need. Learning will take place by engaging with the texts, case studies, group discussions, field experiences and guest speakers who have successfully launched social ventures. The course will culminate in an industry-standard “pitch competition” where unique venture ideas are shared and critiqued.
